Oil Pump Assembly: Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Check body clearance of driven gear. Push driven gear to one side of body. Using a feeler gauge, measure clearance. See Figure. Body clearance should be .004-.006" (.10-.15 mm). Maximum body clearance is .006" (.15 mm). If body clearance exceeds specification, replace oil pump body.
- Using a feeler gauge, check gear tip clearance. Measure between drive and driven gear teeth. See Figure. Tip clearance is .003-.006" (.07-.15 mm). Maximum tip clearance is .006" (.15 mm). If tip clearance exceeds specification, replace oil pump body.
- Check side clearance of both gears. Use a steel straightedge and feeler gauge to measure side clearance of both gears. See Figure. Clearance is .0008-.0020" (.020-.050 mm). Maximum side clearance is .0020" (.05 mm). Replace gears as necessary. If side clearance is not within specification after gear replacement, replace oil pump body.
- Using a dial indicator, measure inside diameter of oil pump body bushing. See Figure. Maximum inside diameter is 1.501" (38.14 mm). If inside diameter exceeds specification, replace oil pump body.
- Using a dial indicator, measure inside diameter of stator shaft bushing. See Figure. Maximum inside diameter is .847" (21.53 mm). If inside diameter exceeds specification, replace stator shaft.
- Inspect front oil seal for cracks, damage or wear. Replace oil seal (if necessary). Remove oil seal with slide hammer. Install a NEW oil seal. Seal is properly installed when it is flush with outer edge of pump body.
