“Shark Tooth Pump”
Improves the heartbeat of the traditional internal gear pump. It is now significantly smoother through the use of new helical asymmetrical gears. The new gear design provides the engine with an improved flow of oil without the usual pulsing found in traditional gear pumps. The re- duction in the pressure ripple from the pump will also provide benefits to the distributor and camshaft drive.
SMOOTHER
• Significant reduction in pressure ripple (pulsing)
• Reduction in torque ripple in pump drive
• Improved distributor operation - reduction in spark scatter • Reduced distributor gear wear & intermediate shaft wear
