Rear Extension Housing: Inspection

  1. INSPECT DRIVEN ROTOR BODY CLEARANCE 
    1. Install the drive rotor and driven rotor to the rear extension housing.
    2. Using a feeler gauge, measure the body clearance between the drive rotor and extension housing.

      Standard clearance: 

      0.08 - 0.17 mm (0.0031 - 0.0067 in.) 

      Maximum clearance: 

      0.17 mm (0.0067 in.) 

      If the body clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the drive rotor and driven rotor.

  2. INSPECT DRIVEN ROTOR TIP CLEARANCE 

    Using a feeler gauge, measure the tip clearance between the drive rotor and driven rotor.
