Oil Pump Assemble

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Lubricate the gears with clean engine oil.
    • The oil pump inner gear
    • The oil pump outer gear
    • The inside surface of the oil pump body
  2. Install the oil pump outer and inner gears to the oil pump body.
    NOTE: Fill oil pump cavities with petroleum jelly prior to installation. This will ensure that there is oil pressure immediately on start-up and will prevent engine damage.

    Important:  Place the drive gear and the driven gear into the oil pump body with the marks on the gears facing the oil pump cover side.

  3. Fill the oil pump with petroleum jelly to prime the oil pump.
