INSPECTION OF OIL PUMP
1. INSPECT RELIEF VALVECoat the valve with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly
into the valve hole by its own weight.
If it doesn't, replace the relief valve. If necessary, replace the
oil pump assembly.
2. INSPECT DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS
A. Place drive and driven rotors into oil pump body Face the mark of the rotors upward.
B. Inspect rotor tip clearance Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the
drive and driven rotors.
Standard tip clearance: 0.110±0.240 mm
(0.0043±0.0094 in.)
Maximum tip clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set.
C. Inspect rotor side clearance Using a feeler gauge and precision straight edge, measure
the clearance between the rotors and precision straight
edge.
Standard side clearance: 0.030±0.090 mm
(0.0012±0.0035 in.)
Maximum side clearance: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
If the side clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
D. Inspect rotor body clearance Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the
driven rotor and pump body.
Standard body clearance: 0.100±0.175 mm
(0.0039±0.0069 in.)
Maximum body clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
rotors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
E. Remove drive and driven rotors

painted surfaces.
(b) Apply seal packing to the oil pump as shown in the illustration.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826±00080 or equivalent
w Install a nozzle that has been cut to a 2±3 mm
(0.08±0.12 in.) opening.
HINT: Avoid applying an excessive amount to the surface. Be
particularly careful near oil passages.
w Parts must be assembled within 5 minutes of
application. Otherwise the material must be
removed and reapplied.
w Immediately remove nozzle from the tube and
reinstall cap.
(c) Place a new gasket in position on the cylinder block.
(d) Engage the spline teeth of the oil pump drive rotor with the large teeth of the crankshaft, and slide the oil pump.
