INSPECT CLEARANCE OF FRONT OIL PUMP AND GEAR BODY SUB-ASSEMBLY

Push the driven gear to one side of the body.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance.
Standard clearance:

0.08 to 0.15 mm (0.0031 to 0.0059 in.)

Maximum clearance:

0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)

If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the oil pump body sub-assembly.
