PUMP-OIL
REMOVAL
NOTE: The oil pump is serviced with the timing
chain cover.
1. Remove timing chain cover (1) (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING CHAIN COVER -
REMOVAL).
2. Disassemble oil pump (3) (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
LUBRICATION/OIL PUMP - DISASSEMBLY).

BRICATION/OIL PUMP - INSPECTION).
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove oil pump cover screws (1) and lift off
cover.
2. Remove pump rotors.

3. Remove oil pressure relief valve (1) and spring (2).
4. Wash all parts in a suitable solvent and inspect
carefully for damage or wear.
CLEANING
Clean all parts thoroughly. Mating surface of the chain case cover should be smooth. Replace pump cover if
scratched or grooved.
INSPECTION
1. Lay a straightedge (1) across the pump cover sur-
face. If a 0.076 mm (0.003 in.) feeler gauge (2) can
be inserted between cover and straight edge, cover
should be replaced.

2. Measure thickness and diameter of rotors. if the
outer rotor diameter is 82.45 mm (3.246 in.) or
less, replace rotor set and.
3. If either rotor thickness measures 18.92 mm
(0.744 in.) or less, replace rotor set
4. Measure clearance between outer rotor (2) and
case. If measurement is 0.19 mm (0.007 in.) or
more, and outer rotor (2) is within specification,
replace chain case cover.

that fails to meet specifications.
9. If oil pressure is low and pump is within specifica-
tions, inspect for worn engine bearings or other
reasons for oil pressure loss.
