The fix for BMWs scariest failure: The oil pump
Have you ever had 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, that engine suffered catastrophic failure. We hear this all the time, and it happens to unsuspecting BMW drivers and enthusiasts 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. However in those cases, it does not solve the shearing of the shaft completely off! In some cases, welding or wiring the nut can make things worse!
This oil pump issue will eventually affect any stock or modified motor, and we get calls and emails with these failures regularly. Although not as prevalent as the M50 oil pump failures, you do NOT want to be the victim of this common failure.
This kit is the best solution on the planet, and it addresses 100% of the issues. UPGRADE your oil pump with a VAC Oil Pump Upgrade Kit and safeguard yourself against silly yet extremely costly oil pump failures.
Available for S54 engine, and S54 engines using the M50 family oil pump.
