DISASSEMBLY OF OIL PUMP
(See Components on page LU±12)
1. REMOVE RELIEF VALVE (a) Slighty mount the pump body in a vise.
(b) Remove the plug, gasket, compression spring and reliefvalve.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the pump body.
2. REMOVE DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS Remove the ten screws, pump body cover, the drive and
driven rotors.
INSPECTION OF OIL PUMP
1. INSPECT RELIEF VALVECoat the valve with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly
into the valve hole on its own weight.
If it doesn't, replace the relief valve. If necessary, replace the
oil pump assembly.
2. INSPECT DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS
A. Place drive and driven rotors into oil pump body The marks on the rotors must face up.
B. Inspect rotor tip clearance Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the
drive and driven rotors.
Standard tip clearance: 0.310±0.490 mm
(0.0122±0.0193 in.)
Maximum tip clearance: 0.53 mm (0.0209 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set.

C. Inspect rotor body clearanceUsing a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the
driven rotor and pump body.
Standard body clearance: 0.100±0.175 mm
(0.0039±0.0069 in.)
Maximum body clearance: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
rotors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
D. Inspect rotor side clearance Using a feeler gauge and precision straight edge, measure
the clearance between the rotors and precision straight
edge.
Standard side clearance: 0.030±0.090 mm
(0.0012±0.0035 in.)
Maximum side clearance: 0.12 mm (0.0047 in.)
If the side clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
E. Remove drive and driven rotors
