As with any of our machined products, the block is 100% CNC cut in house here in Johannesburg Michigan.
For those that don’t know, the CP4 is the fuel injection pump that is installed on the second generation USA BMW diesels with the N47 and N57 engines. This injection pump uses only its fuel supply for lubrication, diesel first flows into the bottom end of the pump to lubricate the camshaft, rollers, lifters, and bushings before the diesel flows up to the metering valve to be used for injection. Unfortunately, the CP4 can be rather sensitive to fuel quality. If contamination occurs and one of the rollers gets stuck, the pump will start making metal shavings in the bottom end. As the CP4 continues to pump, it is now pumping diesel contaminated with metal shavings through the metering valve and into the rest of the injection system. When this failure occurs the CP4, injectors, fuel rails, rail pressure sensor, pressure control valve, high pressure lines, injector return lines, tank lines, and fuel module will all need to be replaced. This kit doesn’t prevent a failure from happening but it does isolate the CP4s lubrication supply from the injection fuel supply and prevents all the other components in the injection system from being damaged. Because of how the metering valve is isolated and given its own supply with this kit, now in the event of a failure only the CP4 and return filter will need to be replaced.
The block itself has been recently updated to use a permanent pressed-in sealing plug that will come pre-installed in the block when you receive your kit.
Both the Earl's and DeastchWerks filter options are 10 micron rated and contain a neodymium ring magnet on the outlet side of the element to help further catch any fine metallic particles. The DW filter has a pleated stainless mesh element where the Earl's has a sintered bronze element. The spec sheet for the DW filter option can be found here.
The block only option is just the block, o rings, and hold down bolts for those who wish to source their own ancillary parts.
While it is very rare, if you have a highly tuned N47 and experience a low rail fault after installation, we also offer a Cascade Valve Adjustment Tool Kit to adjust the feed pressure of your CP4.
