INSPECT FRONT OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY
Turn the drive gear with 2 screwdrivers and make sure that it rotates smoothly.
Note
Be careful not to damage the oil seal lip.
REMOVE STATOR SHAFT ASSEMBLY
Using a T30 "TORX" socket wrench, remove the 16 "TORX" bolts and stator shaft assembly from the front oil pump and gear body sub-assembly.
Note
Keep the gears in the order of installation.
INSPECT CLEARANCE OF FRONT OIL PUMP AND GEAR BODY SUB-ASSEMBLY
Inspect the body clearance.
Push the driven gear to one side of the body.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the body clearance.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0.075 to 0.145 mm (0.00296 to 0.00570 in.) |
| Maximum clearance |
|---|
| 0.145 mm (0.00570 in.) |
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the drive gear, driven gear or front oil pump and gear body sub-assembly.
Inspect the side clearance.
Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the side clearance of both gears.
| Standard side clearance |
|---|
| 0.025 to 0.040 mm (0.000985 to 0.00157 in.) |
| Maximum side clearance |
|---|
| 0.04 mm (0.00157 in.) |
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the drive gear, driven gear or front oil pump and gear body sub-assembly.
Tech Tips
There are 5 different thicknesses for the drive and driven gears.
| Mark | Thickness [mm (in.)] |
|---|---|
| 1 | 11.547 to 11.555 (0.45461 to 0.45492) |
| 2 | 11.555 to 11.563 (0.45493 to 0.45523) |
| 3 | 11.564 to 11.571 (0.45528 to 0.45555) |
| 4 | 11.572 to 11.579 (0.45559 to 0.45586) |
| 5 | 11.580 to 11.587 (0.45591 to 0.45618) |
