INSPECT OIL PUMP RELIEF VALVE
Coat the relief valve with engine oil and drop it into the relief valve 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 assembly.
INSPECT OIL PUMP
| *1 | Alignment Mark |
Install the driven rotor to 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.
| Standard tip clearance |
|---|
| 0.060 to 0.160 mm (0.0024 to 0.0063 in.) |
| Maximum tip clearance |
|---|
| 0.21 mm (0.0083 in.) |
If the tip clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing gear case assembly.
Check the body clearance.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the oil pump body and driven rotor.
| Standard body clearance |
|---|
| 0.100 to 0.170 mm (0.0039 to 0.0066 in.) |
| Maximum body clearance |
|---|
| 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) |
If the body clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing gear case assembly.
Check the side clearance.
Using a feeler gauge and precision straightedge, measure the clearance between the rotor and precision straightedge.
| Standard side clearance |
|---|
| 0.030 to 0.090 mm (0.0012 to 0.0036 in.) |
| Maximum side clearance |
|---|
| 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.) |
If the side clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing gear case assembly.
