Admittedly, I got
lucky! I was 3 miles from home and my return route did not involve any stop lights or stop signs. The piece of mind not having to worry any longer is invaluable!

I had the work completed at AMP

They have done more cam swaps/oil pump removals than most dealers will ever complete!
The "pumping rings" of the pump cracked
in the very same places they have all failed!!
I could post a picture but a Google or forum search will provide the same information.
At 1400 miles, there is not much pressure to make the swap. But as the Katech swap is only 30 minutes and a few bolts shy of a camshaft swap, I think
everyone considering a cam change should add $500 to that budget and get the Katech oil pump!!
I hit
70psi this afternoon merging on the highway!!
I've been watching that oil gauge every time I have driven the car for the past 2 years!
It saved me an engine but it's nice to not HAVE TO keep any eye on it any longer.
After 7 years, I am falling in love with driving this car a 2nd time!
