Precautions
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURENJLC00391. 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 Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
For oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 4.0 to 5.0 mm
(0.157 to 0.197 in).
For 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 Check
JLC284B
SLC926-A
NJLC0042WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and oil may
be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Neutral position”.
1. Check oil level.
2. Remove exhaust front tube.
3. Remove oil pressure switch.
4. Install pressure gauge.
5. Install exhaust front tube.
6. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine speed
rpmApproximate discharge pressure
kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)
Idle speed More than 140 (1.40, 1.43, 20.3)
2,000 More than 270 (2.69, 2.75, 39.1)
4,000 More than 430 (4.29, 4.38, 62.3)
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump
for oil leaks.
8. After the inspections, install the oil pressure switch as follows.
a. Remove the old sealant adhering to the switch and engine.
b. Apply Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent to the thread and
tighten.

Oil Pump
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONNJLC0043When installing oil pump, apply engine oil to rotors.
Refer to EM-26, “Primary Timing Chain” for removal.
Reinstall all parts in the reverse order of removal.

OIL PUMP INSPECTIONNJLC0045Install the inner rotor and outer rotor with the punched
marks on the pump cover side.
Using a feeler gauge, straightedge and micrometers, check the
following clearances:
Unit: mm (in)
Body to outer rotor radial clearance10.114 - 0.260 (0.0045 - 0.0102)
Inner rotor to outer rotor tip clearance
2Below 0.18 (0.0071)
Body to inner rotor axial clearance30.050 - 0.090 (0.0020 - 0.0035)
Body to outer rotor axial clearance40.030 - 0.190 (0.0012 - 0.0075)
Inner rotor to brazed portion of hous-
ing clearance50.045 - 0.091 (0.0018 - 0.0036)
If the tip clearance (2) exceeds the limit, replace rotor set.
If body to rotor clearances (1, 3, 4, 5) exceed the limit,
replace oil pump body assembly.

REGULATOR VALVE INSPECTIONNJLC00461. 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.

4. Check regulator valve to oil pump body clearance.
Clearance 6:
6 : 0.040 - 0.097 mm (0.0016 - 0.0038 in)
If it exceeds the limit, replace oil pump body.

Changing Engine OilNJLC0074WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Stop engine and wait more than 10 minutes.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
4. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
: 29 - 39 N·m (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and
drain time. Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper
amount of oil is in the engine.
5. Check oil level.
6. Start engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for
oil leakage.
7. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes, check oil level.
