INSPECTION
1. INSPECT RELIEF VALVE
Coat the valve with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly
into the valve hole by its own weight.
If it doesn’t, replace the relief valve. If necessary, replace the oil
pump assembly.
2. INSPECT DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS
3. INSPECT ROTOR BODY CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the driv-
en rotor and body.
Standard body clearance:
0.10 − 0.16 mm (0.0039 − 0.0063 in.)
Maximum body clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
4. INSPECT ROTOR TIP CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the drive
and driven rotor tips.
Standard tip clearance:
0.04 − 0.16 mm (0.0016 − 0.0063 in.)
Maximum tip clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors
as a set.
