Checking Oil Pump Relief Valve

For Proper Functioning

1. Unscrew plug and check spring and relief valve

plunger in oil pump cover for dirt particles and free
operation. If required, carefully clean plunger and
seat. Pressure relief plunger sticking as a result of

foreign material or sludge build-up in the oil pump
cover can cause loss of oil pressure.

Removal and Inspection of Oil Pump

Pipe and Screen Assembly

1. Remove oil pan.

2. Clean oil pan. Make sure the gasket surfaces and

pan and block are clean.

Assembly

4. Clean the screen and housing thoroughly in sol-
vent and blow dry with air stream.

Installation of Oil Pump and Screen Assembly

Install by reversing removal procedures, paying par-

ticular attention to the following points.

1. Make sure oil pump pipe flange gasket surface of

block is smooth and free of dirt.

2. Use a new gasket and install assembly.

3. Tighten pan bolts evenly. Do not over-tighten.

Torque to 5 lb. ft.

SPECIFICATIONS

BOLT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

Use a reliable torque wrench to tighten all parts listed, to insure proper

tightness without straining or distorting parts. These specifications are for
clean and lightly-lubricated threads only; dry or dirty threads produce in-
creased friction which prevents accurate measurement of tightness.
