CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Clean all parts in cleaning solvent. Blow out holes and oil
passages with compressed air.
2. See Figure 3-56. Inspect both gerotor sets for wear.
a. Mesh pieces of each set together as shown.
b. Use a feeler gauge to determine clearance.
c. The SERVICE WEAR LIMIT between gerotors is
0.004 in. (0.102 mm). Replace gerotors as a set if
clearance exceeds this dimension.
d. Measure thickness of feed gerotors with a microme-
ter. Replace gerotors as a set if they are not the
same thickness.
3. See Figure 3-55. Check gear shaft (11) teeth for damage
or wear. Replace if necessary.
ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION
NOTE
Liberally coat all moving parts with clean engine oil to ensure
easy assembly and smooth operation at start-up.
1. See Figure 3-55. Install gear shaft (11) through body
(12). Position thrust washer (15) over end of shaft. Install
new retaining ring (16) into groove in shaft.
2. Insert inner gerotor of the gerotor scavenge set (9) over
gear shaft.
3. Place outer gerotor over inner gerotor to complete scav-
enge set (9).
4. See Figure 3-57. Install gerotor separator plate (1) by lin-
ing up slots (2) on perimeter with tabs (3) inside oil pump
body.
5. Install a new O-ring (4) into groove in pump body.
6. See Figure 3-55. Place gerotor feed set (7) over gear
shaft (11).
7. Place cover onto pump body. Install cover TORX screws
(2). Tighten screws to 70-80 in-lbs (8-9 Nm).
8. Place new mounting gasket (10) in position.
