If the housing – to – rotor axial clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the set of inner and outer rotors and/or the pump housing.

Diagram showing a hand using a tool to measure clearance in an oil pump housing, with callouts A and B. Figure number 12M0698.
  • A Pump Housing
  • B Outer Rotor
  1. Check the housing – to – outer rotor radial clearance.
    Housing – to – Outer Rotor Radial Clearance:
    Standard (New): 0.10 ÷ 0.19 mm
    Service Limit: 0.21 mm
    If the housing – to – outer rotor radial clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the set of inner and outer rotors and/or the pump housing.
  2. Inspect both rotors and the pump housing for scoring or other damage. Replace parts if necessary.
  3. Remove the old oil seals from the oil pump.

  • A Broken Line
  1. Apply liquid gasket to the oil pump, along the broken lines shown, and install it.

Note:

  • Use liquid gasket.
  • Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry before applying liquid gasket.
  • Apply liquid gasket evenly, in a narrow bead centred on the mating surface.
  • To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to the inner threads of the bolt holes and the threads of the bolts.
