ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM 6-9
Oil Pump and Relief Valve
•
Visually inspect the relief valve spring [A], and steel ball
[B].
If any rough spots are found during the above inspection,
wash the valve clean with a high flash-point solvent and
blow out any foreign particles that may be in the valve with
compressed air.
WARNING
Clean the parts in a well-ventilated area, and take
care that there is no spark or flame anywhere near
the working area. Because of the danger of highly
flammable liquids, do not use gasoline or low flash
-point solvents.
If cleaning does not solve the problem, replace the relief
valve parts.
•
Measure the clearance between the high point of the inner
rotor and the high point of the outer rotor.
If the clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the in-
ner and outer rotors as a s et.
Inner Rotor/Outer Rotor Clearance
Standard: Less than 0.14 mm (0.006 in.)
Service Limit: 0.3 mm (0.01 in .)
•
Measure the following diameters and width of the oil pump
parts.
If the part(s) has worn past the service limit, replace the
worn part(s).
Inner Rotor Shaft Diameter [A]
Standard:
10.973 ∼ 10.984 mm (0.4320 ∼
0.4324 in.)
Service Limit : 10. 93 mm (0.430 in.)
Outer Rotor Diameter [B]
Standard: 40.53 ∼ 40.56 mm (1.596 ∼ 1.597 in.)
Service Limit: 40.47 mm ( 1.593 in.)
Outer Rotor Width [C]
Standard:
9.98 ∼ 10.00 mm (0. 393 ∼ 0.394
in.)
Service Limit: 9.83 mm (0.387 in.)
