The fix for BMWs scariest failure: The oil pump
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 hear this all the time and it happens to 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, however 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 regularly. Although not as prevalent as the M50 oil pump failures, you should NOT be the victim of this common failure.
This kit is the best solution on the planet addressing 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.
VAC Oil Pump Upgrade Kit includes:
New VAC design oil pump shaft
Matching oil pump sprocket
Grade 8 retaining hardware designed to fix the problem permanently
