INSPECT FRONT OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY
Turn the front oil pump drive gear with 2 screwdrivers and check that it rotates smoothly.
Note
Be careful not to damage the front oil pump oil seal lip.
REMOVE STATOR SHAFT ASSEMBLY
Using a T30 "TORX" socket wrench, remove the 16 bolts and stator shaft assembly from the front oil pump and gear body sub-assembly.
Note
Do not drop the front oil pump drive gear and front oil pump driven gear.
INSPECT CLEARANCE OF FRONT OIL PUMP AND GEAR BODY SUB-ASSEMBLY
Inspect the body clearance.
Push the front oil pump driven gear to one side of the front oil pump body sub-assembly.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the body clearance.
| Standard Clearance |
|---|
| 0.12 to 0.17 mm (0.00472 to 0.00669 in.) |
| Maximum Clearance |
|---|
| 0.17 mm (0.00669 in.) |
If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the front oil pump drive gear, front oil pump driven gear or front oil pump body sub-assembly.
Inspect the side clearance.
Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the side clearance of both gears.
| Standard Side Clearance |
|---|
| 0.035 to 0.05 mm (0.00138 to 0.00197 in.) |
| Maximum Side Clearance |
|---|
| 0.05 mm (0.00197 in.) |
If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the front oil pump drive gear, front oil pump driven gear or front oil pump body sub-assembly.
