Oil Pump: Inspection
- Thoroughly clean and inspect all parts for wear or damage. On pumps with 2 sets of rotors and relief valve assemblies, inspection procedures and specifications apply to both sets.
- With rotors installed in housing, use a feeler gauge to check clearance between inner rotor lobe and outer rotor. Compare measurement with specifications.
- With rotors installed in housing, use a feeler gauge to check clearance between outer rotor and housing. Compare measurement with specifications.
- Place rotors in housing. Lay housing gasket over housing and lay a straightedge over gasket. Insert a feeler gauge between straightedge and rotor assembly to measure rotor end play. Compare measurement with specifications.
- Check fit of relief valve in its bore. Valve must slide freely in bore. If valve is scored, replace it. Check free length of relief valve spring.
