The kit is centered around the internal service parts needed to restore pump function, including a powdered metal drive gear, a 9-tooth gear design, and a high-temp fiber paper gasket. This part number, K-58D, is a specific application kit rather than a universal service item, so fitment should be matched carefully to the intended engine oil pump assembly. It cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 51-26, 224-5126) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring oil pump operation during engine rebuild work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing worn internal pump components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusing the original oil pump casting or front timing cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing sealing issues at the pump gasket interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrecting drive gear wear in the pump assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the pump design and application before installation, since K-58D is a specific-fit kit.
