Oil Pump: Reassembly

  1. If pick-up screen and pipe assembly was removed, replacement with new part is necessary. Loss of press fit could result in air leak and loss of oil pressure.
    NOTE: When installing new oil pump pipe assembly, be careful of twisting, shearing or collapsing pipe.
  2. Apply sealer to end of replacement pick-up tube. Using Oil Pump Pipe Installer (J-8369), tap tube in place with plastic hammer. Install pressure regulator valve and related parts.
  3. Install drive gear and shaft in pump body. Install idler gear in pump body with smooth side of gear toward opening. Install pump cover. Turn drive shaft to ensure smooth operation.
