8.2.4 Lube oil pump inspection
(1) Outside clearance of outer rotor
Insert a gap gage between a outer rotor and a pump body,
and measure the clearance.
(2) Side clearance of outer rotor
When measuring a side clearance, put a right-angle gage
to the pump body, insert a gap gage and measure the
clearance.
(3) Inner rotor and gear boss clearance
8.2.5 Oil pressure control valve construction
The oil pressure control valve attached with lube oil pump controls the oil pressure from the time the lube
oil leaves the filter and is cooled in the lube oil cooler until just before it enters the cylinder body main
gallery.
When the pressure of lube oil entering the cylinder body main gallery exceeds the standard, the control
valve piston opens the bypass hole and lube oil flows back into the oil pan.
