If clearance between inner and outer rotors ex-
ceeds the tolerance, replace coolant/oil pump
shaft assembly. Ensure to also check oil pump
housing and cover and replace if damaged.
If clearance between outer rotor and its bore in
oil pump exceeds the tolerance, replace the com-
plete oil pump and the PTO housing.
Using a vernier depth gauge, measure side wear
as shown.

Difference between pump housing and outer rotor
should not exceed 0.1 mm (.004 in). If so, replace
the complete oil pump assembly.
NOTE: When the axial clearance of the oil pump
shaft assembly increases, the oil pressure de-
creases.
Check the inside of oil pump housing and its cover
for scoring or other damages and replace if dam-
aged.
