Detailed Application Notes

Melling K-58B is an engine oil pump repair kit for specific rebuild work, not a universal service part. It is intended for applications where the original pump housing or front timing cover remains in service, making it a practical option for restoring the pump rather than replacing the entire assembly. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 224-51299, 601-1279) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Worn oil pump internal components
• Reduced oil pressure from pump wear
• Need to reuse the original pump casting
• Need to rebuild the front timing cover oil pump assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the pump design and application before installation. This kit is specific fit, so match the original oil pump configuration and verify the 10-tooth drive gear arrangement before assembly. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the pump housing for wear or damage before reusing it.

Quality Assurance

Melling recommends replacing the oil pump when practical, but this repair kit is offered for rebuilders who want to retain the original casting or timing cover. The K-58B is built around application-specific components for a targeted rebuild.
