INSPECT OIL PUMP ROTOR

Check the side clearance.

Using a feeler gauge and precision straightedge, measure the clearance between the oil pump drive rotor, oil pump driven rotor and precision straightedge.

Standard Side Clearance

0.030 to 0.070 mm (0.00118 to 0.00276 in.)

Maximum Side Clearance

0.16 mm (0.00630 in.)

Maximum Tip Clearance

0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)

HINT:

If the tip clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the oil pump assembly.

Check the body clearance.

Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the oil pump driven rotor and oil pump body.

Standard Body Clearance

0.11 to 0.19 mm (0.00433 to 0.00748 in.)
