This bolt basically holds everything together – it secures the oil pump drive to the engine block. It’s a pretty straightforward fastener, but it's gotta be strong and reliable. It provides the clamping force needed to keep the drive connected and functioning properly. It’s not doing anything fancy beyond that, but it’s essential for the whole system to work. Think of your oil pump as the heart of your engine’s lubrication system. The oil pump drive is what makes the pump work, spinning it to circulate oil. This bolt is one of the key components keeping that spinning action happening. It's part of the mechanism that transfers power from the engine to the oil pump itself. Without it secure, the pump won’t run consistently, or might not run at all. Well, if this bolt fails, you’re looking at a big problem. It acts like a shield, preventing the oil pump drive from coming loose. If it does, the oil pump could stop working, and that means oil isn't getting to where it needs to go – your engine’s vital parts. You’ll notice if it's failing because you’ll likely hear a rattling or whining noise coming from the engine, and eventually, the oil pressure light will come on. That's a sure sign something is seriously wrong. It's a small part, but it has a huge impact. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and getting the right one is crucial. You want to make sure it's the correct size and grade for your engine. Don't mess around with something like this – a failing oil system can quickly cause major engine damage. Adaptable to any vehicle: Hex Bolt (MPN 11237503107) comes with a 12-month warranty!
