1.INSPECT OIL PUMP RELIEF VALVE
Coat the oil pump relief valve with engine oil, then check that it falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
If the oil pump relief valve does not fall smoothly, replace the oil pump assembly.

2.INSPECT OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY
Check the side clearance.
Using a feeler gauge and precision straightedge, measure the clearance between the oil pump drive rotor, oil pump driven rotor and precision straightedge.
0.03 to 0.07 mm (0.00118 to 0.00276 in.)
0.07 mm (0.00276 in.)
If the side clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the oil pump assembly.
Check the tip clearance.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the oil pump drive rotor and oil pump driven rotor tips.
0.06 to 0.18 mm (0.00236 to 0.00709 in.)
0.18 mm (0.00709 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the oil pump assembly.
Check the body clearance.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the oil pump driven rotor and oil pump body.
0.10 to 0.18 mm (0.00394 to 0.00709 in.)
0.18 mm (0.00709 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the oil pump assembly.
