Melling K85 Oil Pump Repair Kit

The Melling K-85 Oil Pump has garnered mixed feedback from customers, primarily centering around its compatibility and the completeness of the kit. Many users have pointed out that the product, which is supposed to be a comprehensive solution for oil pumping needs, only includes the drive shaft and gears, notably omitting critical components such as the pressure relief valve assembly and pump gasket. This has led to confusion and dissatisfaction, as customers expected a more inclusive part based on the product description and imagery. Moreover, there are concerns regarding the quality control of the pump itself. Some buyers noted that the parts arrived with visible nicks on the pump lobes, which could potentially compromise the performance due to the tight tolerances necessary for proper function. Feedback from a machinist indicated that the components did not fit properly, with one customer experiencing lost oil pressure following installation, raising alarms about the reliability of the assembly. In summary, while the Melling K-85 Oil Pump provides essential gears for oil circulation, the lack of completeness in the kit and quality assurance issues have led to significant concerns among users regarding its overall efficacy and reliability. **
