For 1990-2009 cars only
- Disassemble the oil pump. Refer to Oil Pump Disassemble .
- Measure the inner-to-outer rotor radial clearance. Use a feeler gage to measure between the inner rotor (432) and the outer rotor (433).
- Measure the housing-to-rotor axial clearance. Use a feeler gage and a straight edge to measure between both rotors (1) and the straight edge.
- Measure the housing-to-outer rotor radial clearance. Use a feeler gage to measure between the outer rotor (433) and the pump housing (424).
- Inspect both rotors (432 and 433) for scoring or other damage.
- Inspect the valve (420) and valve bore for scoring or other damage. The valve must move freely in the bore.
- Inspect for a collapsed or broken spring (421).
- Inspect the sealing surfaces for damage.
- Inspect the oil passages for debris or restrictions.
- Assemble the oil pump. Refer to Oil Pump Assemble .
If the clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the oil pump assembly.
