Installation
As a precaution, before fitting the oil pumps to the
crankcase ensure the pump internal surfaces have
been 'wetted' with clean engine oil. The pumps may
fail to pick-up oil from the sump if the surfaces have
not been 'wetted'. This will cause the engine to run
without engine oil pressure and will lead to severe
engine damage.
1. Fill the oil pumps with new engine oil, turning the
pump rotors as the oil is poured into the pump.
2. Position the
scavenge
pump to the crankcase
and engage it to the mounting dowels. Ensure
the
drive
blade is facing towards the front of the
engine.

3. Fit and tighten the scavenge pump screws to
12Nm.

pressure pump.

damaged in any way.
