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.
While this isn't very common on the V8 engines, It can happen, and we know many
of you looking at this may have a heavily modified engine. Why risk it...?
Our kit eliminates all failure modes permanently while retaining serviceability
of the pump.
Some people believe it is enough to weld the OEM bolt on, or use a special nut and/or safety wire, however in these cases this does not solve the shearing of the shaft (completely off!) and in some cases can make things worse.
This kit is the best solution on the planet addressing the issues
BMW pumps face.
