INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The seal lip and the sealing surface on
thecrankshaftmustbefreeofalloilresidue,to
prevent leaks. The crankshaft and seal surface
must be completely dry when the seal is installed.
1. Clean cover and housing gasket mating surfaces.
Use a suitable scraper and be careful not to dam-
age the gear housing surface. Remove any old
sealer from the oil seal bore. Thoroughly clean the
front seal area of the crankshaft. Do not sand this
surface. The seal lip and the sealing surface on the
crankshaft must be free from all oil residue to pre-
vent seal leaks.
2. Inspect the gear housing and cover for cracks and
replace if necessary. Carefully straighten any bends
or imperfections in the gear cover with a ball-peen
hammer on a flat surface. Inspect the crankshaft
front journal for any grooves or nicks that would
affect the integrity of the new seal.
3. Apply a bead of Mopar
Stud & Bearing Mount to
the outside diameter of the seal. Do not lubricate the inside diameter of thenewseal.

CLEANING
Clean all parts in solvent and dry with compressed air. Clean the old sealerresidue from the back of the gear
housing cover and front of the gear housing.
INSPECTION
Disassemble and inspect the oil pump as follows:
1. Visually inspect the lube pump gears for chips,
cracks or excessive wear.
2. Remove the back plate (1).
3. Mark TOP on the gerotor planetary (3) using a felt
tip pen.
4. Remove the gerotor planetary (3) inspect for
excessive wear or damage. Inspect the pump
housing and gerotor drive (2) for damaged and
excessive wear.
5. Install the gerotor planetary in the original position.
6. Measure the tip clearance (1). Maximum clearance
is 0.1778 mm (0.007 inch). If the oil pump is out of
limits, replace the pump.

tom of the bore in the cylinder block. When the
pump is correctly installed, the flange on the pump
will not touch the cylinder block.
4. Measure the idler gear to pump drive gear back-
lash and the idler gear to crankshaft gear backlash.
