Check outer (1) and inner rotors (2), rotor plate, and oil pump
case for excessive wear or damage.
Check relief valve (1) for excessive wear or damage and
operates smoothly.
MEASUREMENT
Radial clearance
Check radial clearance between outer rotor (1) and case (2),
using thickness gauge (3).
If clearance exceeds its limit, replace outer rotor or case.
Limit on radial clearance between outer rotor and case for
oil pump
0.310 mm (0.0122 in.)
Side clearance
Using straight edge (1) and thickness gauge (2), measure side
clearance.
Limit on side clearance for oil pump inner rotor
0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)

ASSEMBLY
1) Wash, clean and then dry all disassembled parts.
2) Apply thin coat of engine oil to inner and outer rotors, oil seal
lip portion, and inside surfaces of oil pump case and plate.
3) Install outer (1) and inner rotors (2) to oil pump case.
4) Install relief valve component (1) to rotor plate (2).
5) Install rotor plate and tighten all bolts to specified torque.
After installing plate, check to be sure that rotors turn
smoothly by hand (0.3 N·m (0.03 kg-m, 0.25 lb-ft) torque or
below).
Tightening torque
Oil pump rotor plate bolts (a) : 11 N·m (1.1 kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)

Timing Chain and Chain Tensioner
REMOVAL
1) Remove timing chain cover referring to “Timing Chain
Cover”.
2) Align both intake and exhaust camshaft timing sprocket
marks (1) with notches (2) of cylinder head respectively by
turning crankshaft.
3) Remove timing chain tensioner adjuster assembly (3).
4) Remove timing chain tensioner (4).
5) Remove timing chain No.1 guide (5).
6) Remove timing chain (6) with crankshaft timing sprocket (7).
1. Crankshaft timing sprocket 5. Timing chain tensioner adjuster assembly Tightening torque
2. Timing chain 6. Chain tensioner adjuster mounting bolt Apply engine oil to sliding surface.
3. Timing chain No.1 guide 7. Chain tensioner mounting bolt
4. Timing chain tensioner 8. Chain guide mounting bolt
CAUTION:
After timing chain is removed, never turn crankshaft and
camshafts independently more than its allowable turning
range described in “INSTALLATION” section.
If turned, interference may occur between piston and
valves and valves themselves, and parts related to piston
and valves may be damaged.

INSTALLATION
1) Check that match marks (1) on intake and exhaust camshaft
timing sprockets are in match with notches (2) on cylinder
head as shown in figure.
2) Set key (3) and turn crankshaft to position key on upside of
crankshaft.
3) Install timing chain by aligning dark blue plate (1) of timing
chain and mark (2) on camshaft timing sprocket and then
aligning dark blue plate (3) and triangle mark (4) as shown in
figure.
4) Fit crankshaft timing sprocket to timing chain by aligning gold
plate (5) of timing chain and mark (6) on crankshaft timing
sprocket. Then install crankshaft timing sprocket fitted with
chain to crankshaft.
5) Apply engine oil to sliding surface of timing chain No.1 guide
(1) and install it as shown in figure.
Tighten guide bolts to specified torque.
Tightening torque

(a) : 9 N·m (0.9 kg-m, 6.5 lb-ft) CAUTION:
After timing chain is removed, never turn crankshaft and
camshafts independently more than such an extent (“a”,
“b”) as shown in figure.
If turned, interference may occur between piston and
valves and valves themselves, and parts related to piston
and valves may be damaged.
“a” :90°5. Crankshaft allowable turning range.
By key on crankshaft, within 90° from top on both right and left.
“b” :15°4. Camshaft (IN and EX) allowable turning range.
By marks on camshaft timing sprocket within 15° from notches on
cylinder head on both right and left.

7) Check that match marks (1) on intake and exhaust camshaft
timing sprockets are in match with dark blue plates (2) of tim-
ing chain and match mark (3) on crankshaft timing sprocket
is in match with gold plate (4) of timing chain.
8) Screw in plunger (1) by turning timing chain tensioner
adjuster (2) in arrow direction and install a retainer (3) (wire)
to hold plunger in place.
