Oil Pump: Inspection

  1. INSPECT OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY 
    1. Turn the drive gear with 2 screwdrivers and make sure that it rotates smoothly.
      NOTE: Be careful not to damage the oil seal lip.

  2. INSPECT CLEARANCE OF OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY 
    1. Push the driven gear to one side of the body.
    2. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance.

      Standard body clearance: 

      0.10 to 0.17 mm (0.0039 to 0.0067 in.) 

      Side clearance: 

      0.02 to 0.05 mm (0.001 to 0.002 in.) 

      Maximum body clearance: 

      0.17 mm (0.0067 in.) 

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

    3. Using a feeler gauge, measure the tip clearance between the driven gear teeth and drive gear teeth.

      Standard tip clearance: 

      0.07 to 0.15 mm (0.0028 to 0.0059 in.) 

      Maximum tip clearance: 

      0.15 mm (0.0059 in.) 

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

    4. Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the side clearance of both gears.

      Standard side clearance: 

      0.02 to 0.05 mm (0.0008 to 0.0020 in.) 

      Maximum side clearance: 

      0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)

  3. INSPECT FRONT OIL PUMP AND GEAR BODY SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the oil pump body bushing.

      Standard inside diameter: 

      38.113 to 38.138 mm (1.5005 to 1.5015 in.) 

      Maximum inside diameter: 

      38.188 mm (1.5035 in.) 

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

  4. INSPECT STATOR SHAFT ASSEMBLY 
    1. Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the stator shaft.

      Standard inside diameter: 

      21.500 to 21.526 mm (0.8465 to 0.8475 in.) 

      Maximum inside diameter: 

      21.57 mm (0.8492 in.) 

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