The pump assembly must be replaced if one or more of
the conditions below is discovered during inspection.
Badly worn or damaged driven gear (10).
Badly worn drive gear (11) driving face.
Badly scratched or scored body sliding face (14) o
r
driven gear (10).
Badly worn or damaged gear teeth.
Measure the clearance between the body and the
driven gear with a feeler gauge.
Standard : 0.10 mm–0.18 mm
(0.0039 in.–0.0070 in)
Limit : 0.20mm (0.0079 in)
051RS004
Measure the clearance between the drive gear and
driven gear with a feeler gauge.

Reassembly
1. Install drive gear (11).
2. Install driven gear (10).
3. Install oil pump cover (9) and first, loosely tighten all
of the attaching screws. Next, tighten the attaching
screws to the specified torque.
Torque : 10 N
m (1.0 kg
m/7 lb ft)
After installation, check that the gear rotates
smoothly.
4. Install relief valve (8) and apply engine oil to the
relief valve and spring (7).
5. Install spring (7).
6. Install the plug (6).
Torque : 8 N

7. Install oil pump assembly (5).
Carefully remove any oil from the cylinder body
and the pump. Apply sealant (TB–1207B o
r
equivalent) to the pump fitting face as shown in
illustration. Take care that sealant is not applied
to oil port surfaces. The oil pump assembly
must be installed within 5 minutes after sealan
t
application to prevent premature hardening o
f
sealant.
CAUTION: Do not apply an excessive amount o
f
sealant to the contact surface. Applying too much
sealant will overflow the contact surfaces. This
could cause serious damage to the engine.
Attach oil pump assembly to cylinder body.
Tighten the oil pump fixing bolts.
