Oil Jet and Oil Jet Bolt - Inspect

1. Inspect the oil jet and the oil jet bolt as follows.

Make sure that a 0.7 mm (1/32 in) diameter drill bit will go through the nozzle hole (A) (0.9 mm (0.035 in) diameter).
Insert the other end of a 1.8 mm (1/16 in) drill into the oil intake (2.0 mm (0.079 in) diameter). Make sure the check ball (B) moves smoothly.
Check the oil jet operation with an air nozzle. It should take at least 132 kPa (1.35 kgf/cm² , 19.1 psi) to unseat the check ball.

NOTE: Replace the oil jet, if the nozzle is damaged or bent.
