Is there an oil pressure relief spring anywhere in the oil circuit? Has anyone ever heard of these springs wearing out or breaking, assuming it exists?
To the OP and rksiewert, do you know what length hex shaft do you have? 77mm or 100mm??...Upon close inspection not only did I find the hex key rounded off, but also the inside of the BSM shaft where the hex key goes into. If you replaced the hex key, there was probably enough slack in the keyway to grind the edges of the new key off, so it is probably catching and slipping as the shaft rotates.
Just my 2 cents from my experience.
3 years since the last update I'm guessing the car got junked, sold or is sitting idle with somebodyWas there ever a result to this thread?
