  1. Check the rotor tip clearance.

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

      Standard driven rotor tip clearance:
      0.060 to 0.180 mm (0.0024 to 0.0071 in.)

      Maximum driven rotor tip clearance:
      0.28 mm (0.0110 in.)
      If the tip clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the oil pump assembly.

  1. Check the rotor body clearance.

    1. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the driven rotor and the oil pump body.

      Standard body oil pump clearance:
      0.250 to 0.325 mm (0.0098 to 0.0128 in.)

      Maximum body oil pump clearance:
      0.425 mm (0.0167 in.)
      If the body clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the oil pump assembly.
