The most elegant, reliable, and best selling solution to the most feared failure of the M10 family engines: Oil pump sprocket failure.
Ever have an oil pump sprocket retaining nut back off and lose oil pressure? How about shearing off the oil pump shaft with the sprocket and nut still attached?...
Chances are you lost that engine. At VAC we hear this all the time. It happens to the most unsuspecting BMW enthusiast more than you might think. In fact, this is the most important upgrade you can do for an M10 engine.
This kit is very popular for a reason; it eliminates all failure modes permanently while retaining serviceability. Some people believe it is enough to weld the OEM nut on, or use a different nut, or safety wire, however in these cases this does
