Short Description: Ensure your engine's survival with this high-precision Oil Pump Gear. A critical component for maintaining consistent oil pressure, this gear is essential for restoring peak lubrication performance and protecting your engine from premature wear.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Dnepr MT-11 (and compatible KM3-8.155.6 models)
• Manufacturer Code / SKU: MT801601
• Part Type: Engine / Lubrication System

Purpose and Role in the Motorcycle (based on the original manual):
The Oil Pump Gear is the primary driver of the MT-11's forced-feed lubrication system. Located within the front bearing housing of the engine crankcase, this gear meshes with the driving pinion of the timing gear to actuate the gear pump. Its fundamental role is to ensure that oil is sucked through the gauze filter and pumped under pressure to the main oil line, feeding the crankshaft, connecting-rod bushings, and the centrifuge. Because the Dnepr engine relies on a combined (forced-feed and splash) system, the failure or wear of this gear can lead to a catastrophic drop in oil pressure. A primary sign that the lubrication drive is compromised is the activation of the emergency oil pressure transmitter indicator lamp (red) on the dashboard, or the appearance of harsh metallic knocks in the crank gear due to insufficient lubrication.

Benefits of Buying:

• Exact OEM Fit: Manufactured to precise technical specifications to ensure seamless meshing with the timing gear and the pump assembly.
• Enhanced Engine Longevity: By ensuring a steady, forced flow of lubricant to the crankshaft and cylinder heads, this gear prevents overheating and premature bearing failure.
• Durable Construction: Built from high-strength materials designed to withstand the constant torque and thermal stress of a heavy-duty, air-cooled double-cylinder engine.
