  2. Install driven gear (10).
  3. Install oil pump cover (9) and first, loosely tighten all of the attaching screws. Next, tighten the attaching screws to the specified torque.

    Torque:  10 N.m (87 lb in)

    After installation, check that the gear rotates smoothly.

  4. Install relief valve (8) and apply engine oil to the relief valve and spring (7).
  5. Install spring (7).
  6. Install the plug (6).

  7. Install oil pump assembly (5).
    • Carefully remove any oil from the cylinder body and the pump. Apply sealant (TB-1207B or equivalent) to the pump fitting face as shown in illustration. Take care that sealant is not applied to oil port surfaces. The oil pump assembly must be installed within 5 minutes after sealant application to prevent premature hardening of sealant.
    CAUTION: Do not apply an excessive amount of sealant to the contact surface. Applying too much sealant will overflow the contact surfaces. This could cause serious damage to the engine.
    • Attach oil pump assembly to cylinder body.
    • Tighten the oil pump fixing bolts.

      Torque:  25 N.m (18 lb ft)
