New To The Market: Hepolite Oil Pumps
Finding a "usable" oil pump for your BSA twin is getting harder and harder to find these days
Almost all "NOS" (new old stock) or original pumps are long gone only to leave us with used pumps that often bind, don't spin or in dire need of additional machine work
Not only is trying to salvage an old oil pump time consuming and costly, there is also a level of risk involved..
The importance of oil flow and delivery
All BSA pre-unit and unit twins from 1947-1972 came with a timing side crankshaft bushing..
It is extremely critical that you have the proper oil flow and delivery going in (and out) of your bushing
As they say, the heart of your engine is the oil pump..
Lets face it, BSA models have it much harder than a Triumph or Norton because of this tricky bushing
If you find an old pump, think twice about it...
Hepolite oil pumps

@William – If I had an A65 engine I was building I would do it no problem – all my A65’s are on the road. In the future, we shall see!
