INSPECTION

1.

CHECK BODY CLEARANCE OF DRIVEN GEAR

Push the driven gear to one side of the body. Using a feeler
gauge, measure the clearance.

Standard body clearance:
0.10 – 0.17 mm (0.0039 – 0.0066 in.)
Maximum body clearance: 0.17mm (0.0066 in.)

If the body clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the
oil pump body sub–assembly.

2.

CHECK TIP CLEARANCE OF DRIVEN GEAR

Measure the tip clearance between the driven gear teeth and
the drive gear teeth.

Standard tip clearance:
0.11 – 0.14 mm (0.0043 – 0.0055 in.)
Maximum tip clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)

If the tip clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the oil
pump body sub–assembly.

3.

CHECK SIDE CLEARANCE OF BOTH GEAR

Using a steel straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the side
clearance of both gears.

Standard side clearance:
0.02 – 0.04 mm (0.0008 – 0.0016 in.)
Maximum side clearance: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)

4.

CHECK OIL PUMP BODY BUSHING

Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the oil
pump body bushing.

Standard inside diameter:
38.12 – 38.13 mm (1.5008 – 1.5012 in.)
Maximum inside diameter: 38.18 mm (1.5031 in.)

If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the
oil pump body sub–assembly.

5.

CHECK STATOR SHAFT BUSHING

Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the stator
shaft bushings.

Standard inside diameter:
21.50 – 21.52 mm (0.8465 – 0.8472 in.)
Maximum inside diameter: 21.57 (0.8492 in.)

If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the
stator shaft.

(b)

Coat the lip of oil seal with petroleum jelly.

2.

INSTALL OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR AND DRIVEN GEAR

3.

INSTALL STATOR SHAFT

(a)

Align the stator shaft with each bolt hole.

(b)

Using a torx socket T30, install the 11 bolts.
Torque: 9.8 N·m (100 kgf·cm, 7 in.·lbf)

4.

INSTALL 2 OIL SEAL RINGS

NOTICE:
Do not expand the ring ends excessively.

5.

CHECK PUMP DRIVE GEAR ROTATION

Turn the drive gear with 2 screwdrivers and make sure it rotates
smoothly.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the oil seal lip.
