Inspection
If any part of either of the oil pumps is found to be
outside the service limit, the complete pump must be
replaced. Severe engine damage may result from the
continued use of a faulty oil pump.

4. Clearances:
a) If all clearances are within service limits, liberally
apply clean engine oil to all internal
components and refit the oil pump plate to the
oil pump body.
b) If any clearance measured is outside the service
limits, renew the complete pump.
5. Inspect the sprockets and chain for wear and/or
damage. Replace the sprocket and chain if wear and/
or damage is found.
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.
