INSPECT OIL PUMP RELIEF VALVE
Coat the relief valve with engine oil and drop it into the relief vale hole.
Check that the relief valve falls in smoothly by its own weight.
If it does not, replace the relief valve. If necessary, replace the timing gear case.
INSPECT OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY
Install the driven rotor into the timing gear case with the mark facing the cylinder block side.
Check the tip clearance.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the drive and driven rotor tips.
| Tip clearance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the tip clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the driven rotor and gear case with new ones.
Check the body clearance.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the oil pump body and drive rotor.
| Body clearance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the body clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the driven rotor and gear case with new ones.
Check the side clearance.
Using a feeler gauge and precision straightedge, measure the clearance between the rotor and precision straightedge.
| Side clearance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the side clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the driven rotor and gear case with new ones.
