Oil Pump: Inspection
- Wash all parts in solvent and dry with compressed air. Inspect pump body and cover for cracks or excessive wear.
- Inspect gears for damage or excessive wear. Check for looseness of drive gear shaft in body.NOTE: The pump gears and pump body cannot be serviced separately. If either gears or pump body is worn or damaged, replace entire oil pump assembly.
- Inspect pump cover for wear that would allow oil to leak past ends of gears. Inspect pick-up screen and tube assembly for damage. Check pressure regulator valve for fit in pump body.
