Beisan Systems has manufactured an S54 vanos oil pump disk.
The Beisan oil pump disk is a replica of the BMW oil pump disk, but has smaller diameter face holes.
The smaller face holes fit both the BMW exhaust hub tabs and Beisan exhaust hub tabs, leaving .05mm play.
Beisan manufactured the disk to accumulate disk cores for its existing disk product.
The disk has been well tested and is now installed in 100+ cars.
The Beisan disk steel/bronze material is acquired from the same manufacturer that BMW acquires its disk material from.
The bronze is leaded and is metallurgically fused to the steel disk surface. The steel is hardened.
The Beisan disk is machined to the same dimensions and extreme dimensional tolerances as the BMW disk. The center bushing diameter and side cylinders diameters are machined to a +/- .0025mm tolerance.
Beisan will provide the new disk for year 2020 disk purchases. Subsequently, the remanufactured BMW disk with new small holes will be provided again.
The cost and core charge for the new disk is the same as the remanufactured BMW disk.
The two disk versions are effectively the same, and they do not experience wear. Thus there is no substantial benefit to acquiring the new disk.
