Is it possible to up grade the 06 to a 08 oil pump? It's a question that popped up in my head ad i haven't seen it posted here yet. I know the option is buy an 08, but I love my 06. With all it's bits-n-pieces. |

Simple answer- no. Entire bottom end of engine is different (crank, rods, cams, etc. Probably cases as well.) |

There was an up grade for the '07 that would fit the '06. Better, stronger brass gears if I remember. |

Etennuly- the bronze oil pump drive gear came out with the 06's. The 07's do have an improved oil pump with increased scavenging capacity, but not nearly as big of an improvement as the 08-up arrangement. Here's a screencap from the 07 Model Year technical forum document showing the changes: (Message edited by hughlysses on September 13, 2009) |
