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.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the pump body.
(b) Insert the relief valve and compression spring into the oil
pump body hole.
(c) Install the plug with a new gasket.
Torque: 49 N Vm (500 kgf Vcm, 36 ft Vlbf)
INSTALLATION OF OIL PUMP
(See Components on page LU±9)
1. INSTALL OIL PUMP (a) Place two new O±rings in position on the cylinder block.
(b) Remove any old packing (FIPG) material and be careful
not to drop any oil on the contact surfaces of the oil
pump cylinder block.
w Using a razor blade gasket scraper, remove all the
old packing (FIPG) material from the gasket
surfaces and sealing groove.
w Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the
debris.
w Using a non±residue solvent, clean both sealing
surfaces.
NOTICE: Do not use a solvent which will affect the
painted surfaces.
(c) Apply seal packing to the oil pump as shown in the illustration.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826±00080 or equivalent
w Install a nozzle that has been cut to a 2±3 mm
(0.08±0.12 in.) opening.
HINT: Avoid applying an excessive amount to the surface. Be
particularly careful near oil passages. w Parts must be assembled within 5 minutes of
application. Otherwise the material must be
removed and reapplied.
w Immediately remove nozzle from the tube and
reinstall cap.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MA00M±03
There are the maintenance and inspection
items which are considered to be the owner's
responsibility. They can be performed by the
owner or be can have them done at a service
shop. These items include those which should
be checked on a daily basis, those which, in
most cases, do not require (special) tools and
those which are considered to be reasonable
for the owner to perform. Items and procedures
for general maintanance are as follows:
MA00P±04

(b) Check for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
2. WHEEL NUTS Wheel checking the tires, check the nuts for
looseness or for missing nuts. If necessary,
tighten them.
3. TIRE ROTATION It is recommended that tires be rotated every
12,000 km (7,500 miles).
4. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not
wipe clean. Replace if necessary.
5. FLUID LEAKS
(a) Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or
other fluid.

timing pulleys, and place a new installation mark on the
timing belt to match the end of the hydraulic pump.
w (When replacing timing belt tensioner only)
To avoid meshing of the timing pulley and timing belt, se-
cure one of them with string. And place matchmarks on
the timing belt and RH camshaft timing pulley.
