Oil Pump: Inspection
- Using a feeler gauge, measure tip clearance between inner and outer rotors. Standard rotor clearance is .0005-.0059" (.013-.150 mm). Replace oil pump if clearance is not within limits.
- Using a feeler gauge, measure clearance between outer rotor and inner wall of pump housing. Standard value is .006-.009" (.16-.22 mm). Replace oil pump if clearance is not within limits.
- Install both gears in pump housing. Lay a straightedge over pump housing. Insert a feeler gauge between straightedge and rotors. Measure clearance over rotors. Standard clearance is .001-.004" (.03-.09 mm). If clearance is excessive, replace oil pump.
