face, then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to specification.
4. Refill the engine with new engine oil. Refer to LU-9, "
Changing
Engine Oil".
5. Inspect the engine for oil leakage. Follow the "INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION" procedure.

Relief Valve
Inspect relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks by
pushing the ball. If replacement is necessary, remove
the valve by prying it out using a suitable tool. Install a new valve in place by tapping it.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal, paying attention to the following:
• Confirm that no foreign objects are adhering to the sealing sur- faces of the oil cooler or oil pan.
• Tighten the connecting bolt after aligning the stopper on the oil pan side with protrusion of the oil cooler.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check levels and add engine oil and engine coolant. Refer to LU-8, "Inspection" and CO-10, "Inspection".
2. Start the engine, and check for leaks of engine oil and engine coolant.
3. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check engine oil level and engine coolant level again.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove oil pump cover.
2. Remove inner rotor and outer rotor from oil pump body.
3. Remove the regulator plug, regulator spring and regulator valve.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Clearance of Oil Pump Parts
• Measure radial clearance using a suitable tool.
• Measure side clearance using suitable tools.
• Calculate the clearance between inner rotor and oil pump body asfollows.
1. Measure the outer diameter of protruded portion of inner rotor
(position 5) using suitable tool. Body to outer rotor (position 1)
: 0.114 - 0.200 mm (0.0045 - 0.0079 in)
Inner rotor to outer rotor tip (position 2)
: Below 0.180 mm (0.0071 in)
PBIC0139E
Body to inner rotor (position 3)
: 0.030 - 0.070 mm (0.0012 - 0.0028 in)
Body to outer rotor (position 4)
: 0.030 - 0.090 mm (0.0012 - 0.0035 in)

2. Measure the inner diameter of oil pump body to brazed portion
(position 6) using suitable tool.
3. Calculate the clearance using the following formula. • (Clearance) = (Inner diameter of oil pump body) - (Outer diameter of inner rotor)
Regulator Valve Clearance
Check regulator valve to oil pump cover clearance using the following formula.
• (Clearance) = D
1 (Valve hole diameter) - D2 (Outer Diameter of
valve)
CAUTION:
• Coat regulator valve with engine oil.
• Check that it falls smoothly into the regulator valve hole by its
own weight.
ASSEMBLY
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Install the inner rotor and outer rotor with the punched marks on the
oil pump cover side.
