lnspect both rotors and pump housing for scoringor other damage. Replace parts if necessary.
Remove the old oil sealfrom the oil pump.
Using the special tool, gently tap in the new oil sealuntil the driver bottoms against the pump.
NOTE: The oil seal alone can be replaced withoutremoving the oil pump.

PUMP HOUSING
17. Reassemble the oil pump, applying thread lock tothe pump housing screws.
18. Check that the oil pump turns freely.
19. Apply a light coat of oilto the seal lip.
20. Install the two dowel pins and new O-ring on the oilpump.
21. Apply liquid gasket to the cylinder block mating sur_face of the oil pump.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No.08718 - oOOj or 08718- 0003.. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore applying liquid gaskel. Apply liquid gasket evenly, in a narrow bead cen-tered on the mating surface.o To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket tothe inner threads of the bolt holes.. Do not install the parts if five mtnures or morehave elapsed since applying liquid gasket.Instead. reapply liquid gasket after removing theold residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes beforefilling the engine with oil.

The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P0300*5 or P1300*3 *1 and some of P0301 - P0304:Random misfire.Description
Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensorwhich is attached to the crankshaft.
lf misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected. the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence, and DTCP0300*5 or P1300*3'*' and some of DTCs P0301 through P0304 will be stored. Then, after misfire has ceased, the MIL willcome on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on, and DTCP0300*5 or P1300*3 *a and some of DTCS P0301 through P0304 will be stored.NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC. troubleshoot those DTCS first, thenrecheck for the misfire DTC.

Troubleshooting
Fluid Leaks
Check the gearbox assembly for oil leaks carefully. Oil can leak out of various points. depending on location of thefaulty oil seals/seal rings. Check the following before removing the gearbox from the frame_

Leaking from cylinder end intoleft tie rod boot.Replace the valve oil seal tromthe pinion shaft.
Replace the cylinder end seal onthe gear housing side.
Leaking lrom cylinder end intoright tie-rod boot.Replace the cylinder end seal onthe cylinder end side.
Leaking lrom the shaft upper endsectron or pin engagement sec,tion ol the pinion shaft.Replace the valve body unit.

2. Push on th€ damper assembly as shown.
Check for smooth operation through a full stroke,
both compression and extension,
NOTE: The damper should move smoothlv. lf itdoes not (no compression or no extension), the gas
is leaking, and the damper should be replaced.Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, or binding dur-ing these tests.
