2-2.5.1. Oil Pump
The engine-driven, gear type oil pump (Figure 2-11) is a positive displacement pump that
consists of two meshed steel gears that revolve inside the oil pump cavity machined in
the accessory case. The camshaft drives the oil pump drive gear, which drives the oil
pump driven gear. The oil pump driven gear is supported by a shaft pressed into the
accessory case and supported by the oil pump cover plate. The oil pump drive gear shaft
is supported by bushings pressed into the accessory case. The oil pump gear shaft
incorporates provisions to drive a mechanical tachometer.
The oil pump housing and oil pump gear chambers are machined in the interior of the
accessory case. The oil pump drive gear shaft hole is machined in-line with the camshaft
and the driven gear shaft hole is directly above it.
