Type 1 Schadek Oil Pump - 26mm Gears - 4 Bolt Camshaft (1971-79) - 8mm Studs

Upgrade your engine with this high-quality 26mm oil pump manufactured by Schadek, one of the most trusted names in aircooled VW oil system components. Designed for Type 1 aircooled engines with 8mm oil pump studs and 4-rivet (or 4-bolt) camshafts, this pump offers improved manufacturing precision and consistent oil pressure compared to standard aftermarket units.

The oil pump is the heart of the engine’s lubrication system, drawing oil from the sump and delivering it under pressure to critical internal components such as the crankshaft, camshaft and bearings. The 26mm gear size provides an ideal balance of oil flow and pressure for standard and mildly tuned engines, helping to maintain proper lubrication without over-pressurising the system.

Schadek pumps are well known for their tight tolerances, durable construction and reliable performance, making them a preferred choice for engine rebuilds and long-term reliability. This pump is specifically designed for engines with the later 4-rivet camshaft and will not fit earlier 3-rivet cam configurations.
