Regulator Valve Clearance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

(Clearance 6) = D (Valve hole diameter) - E (Outer diameter of valve)

Standard: 0.040 - 0.097 mm (0.0016 - 0.0038 in) 

If it exceeds the standard, replace the oil pump body.

CAUTION: Coat regulator valve with engine oil.

Check that it falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
