| Set the crankshaft in TDC cylinder 1: |
|
| The shortened tooth of the toothed belt pinion must match the mark on the oil pump -arrow-. |
Note! | Bear in mind that there are two TDC marks on the oil pump/oil seal cover, a small one for 4V engines (right side) and a longer one for 2V engines (left side). Do not confuse the marks when setting the crankshaft in TDC, as the engine could suffer major damage. |
| –
| Turn the crankshaft or toothed belt pinion three teeth anticlockwise from the TDC position: |
|
| The third tooth from the right of the shortened tooth -A- has to match with the TDC mark on the oil pump housing -arrow-. |
Note! | With this adjustment, the assembly position of the crankshaft is established for oil pump installation. One of the drive cams of the crankshaft is in an upper position. |
| –
| Loosen the bolt fastening the pinion to the crankshaft toothed belt. To do so, fasten with the countersupport -T20018-. |
| –
| Remove the toothed belt pinion from the crankshaft and the tensioning roller from the toothed belt. |
| –
| Remove the suction pipe → Item. |
Note! | To remove the oil pump in vehicles with an air conditioner, the support for the vane pump-compressor-alternator must be partially separated. |
| –
| Using a flat scraper, eliminate the sealant residue from the engine block. |
| –
| Clean the contact surfaces, which should be free from oil and grease. |
