2005 CHRYSLER VOYAGER engine

INSPECTION
(1) Inspect the mating surfaces of the oil pump
cover. Surface should be smooth. Replace pump cover
if scratched or grooved.
(2) Lay a straightedge across the pump cover sur-
face (Fig. 99). If a 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) feeler gauge
can be inserted between cover and straight edge,
cover should be replaced.
(3) Measure thickness and diameter of outer rotor.
If outer rotor thickness measures 9.40 mm (0.370 in.)
or less (Fig. 100), or if the diameter is 79.95 mm
(3.148 in.) or less, replace outer rotor.
(4) If inner rotor measures 9.40 mm (0.370 in.) or
less replace inner rotor (Fig. 101).
ASSEMBLY
(1) Assemble pump, using new parts as required.
Install the inner rotor with chamfer facing the
cast iron oil pump cover.
(2) Prime oil pump before installation by filling
rotor cavity with engine oil.
(3) Install cover and tighten fasteners to 12 N´m
(105 in. lbs.) (Fig. 98).
CAUTION: Oil pump pressure relief valve must be
installed as shown in (Fig. 97) or serious engine
damage may occur.
(4) Install relief valve, spring, gasket and cap as
shown in (Fig. 97). Tighten cap to 41 N´m (30 ft.
lbs.).

INSTALLATION
(1) Make sure all surfaces are clean and free of oil
and dirt.
(2) Apply MopartGasket Maker to oil pump as
shown in (Fig. 102). Install O-ring into oil pump body
discharge passage.
(3) Prime oil pump with engine oil before installa-
tion.
(4) Align oil pump rotor flats with flats on crank-
shaft. Install the oil pump to the block (Fig. 96).
CAUTION: To align, the front crankshaft seal MUST
be out of pump, or damage may result.
(5) Install new front crankshaft seal using Special
Tool 6780 (Fig. 103).
(6) Install crankshaft key (Fig. 95).
CAUTION: The crankshaft sprocket is set to a pre-
determined depth from the factory for correct tim-
ing belt tracking. If removed, use of Special Tool
6792 is required to set the sprocket to original
installation depth. An incorrectly installed sprocket
will result in timing belt and engine damage.
(7) Install crankshaft sprocket using Special Tool
6792 (Fig. 104).
(8) Install oil pump pick-up tube.
(9) Install oil pan (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRI-
CATION/OIL PAN - INSTALLATION).
(10) Install timing belt rear cover (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT COVER(S)
- INSTALLATION).
