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. We at VAC Motorsports hear about this all the time, and it happens to the most unsuspecting BMW enthusiast more than you might think.
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 bolt on, or use a special nut and/or safety wire. In these cases this does
not solve the shearing of the shaft (completely off!) and in some cases can make things worse.
This oil pump issue effects 100% stock and modified motors and we get calls and emails with these failures several times a month. An oil pan baffle is not enough, do NOT be the victim this common failure! This kit is the best solution on the planet addressing 100% of the issues.
