Make sure that the oil pump does not spring apart.

Remove the two Allen head screws and the gasket.

Clean and check all parts

Check for damage and wear and tear. Make a special check of the half-moon-shaped section (the surface between the inlet and outlet sides).

If there is a fault, replace the complete pump.

There are loose components for the oil pressure governor.
