Precautions
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURENBLC00011. Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from
mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil
from these areas.
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces.
(Use Genuine RTV silicone sealant Part No. 999MP-A7007
or equivalent.)
IFor oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 4.0 to 5.0 mm
(0.157 to 0.197 in).
IFor areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 2.0
to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in).
3. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes (unless
otherwise specified).
4. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
5. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and engine
coolant.

Oil Pressure CheckNBLC0004WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and oil may
be hot.
IOil pressure check should be done in ªParking positionº.
1. Check oil level.
2. Disconnect oil pressure switch harness connector.
3. Remove oil pressure switch using a deep socket. (Commercial
service tool)
4. Install pressure gauge.
5. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.

If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump
for oil leaks.
7. After the inspections, install the oil pressure switch as follows.
a. Remove the old sealant adhering to switch and engine.

OIL PUMP INSPECTIONNBLC0007IInstall oil pump with the groove of the inner rotor facing
the oil pump cover.
Using a feeler gauge, straightedge and micrometers, check the
following clearances:
Unit: mm (in)
Body to outer rotor radial clearance 1 0.114 - 0.200 (0.0045 - 0.0079)
Inner rotor to outer gear tip clearance
2Below 0.18 (0.0071)
Body to inner rotor axial clearance 3 0.030 - 0.070 (0.0012 - 0.0028)
Body to outer rotor axial clearance 4 0.050 - 0.110 (0.0020 - 0.0043)
Inner rotor to brazed portion of hous-
ing clearance 50.045 - 0.091 (0.0018 - 0.0036)
IIf the tip clearance (2) exceeds the limit, replace rotor set.
IIf body to rotor clearances (1, 3, 4, 5) exceed the limit,
replace oil pump body assembly.

REGULATOR VALVE INSPECTIONNBLC00081. Visually inspect components for wear and damage.
2. Check oil pressure regulator valve sliding surface and valve
spring.
3. Coat regulator valve with engine oil. Check that it falls
smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
If damaged, replace regulator valve set or oil pump body.

INSPECTIONNBLC0037Oil CoolerNBLC0037S011. Check oil cooler for cracks.
2. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing through coolant inlet.
If necessary, replace oil cooler assembly.
Oil Pressure Relief ValveNBLC0037S02Inspect oil pressure relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks
by pushing the ball. If replacement is necessary, remove valve by
prying it out with a suitable tool. Install a new valve in place by
tapping it.
