3-48 DISASSEMBLY, REASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, AND MAINTENANCE
Lubrication System
The reassembly is the reverse order of disassembly.
Install the outer rotor and the inner rotor, in that order, making sure
to prevent dust from entering the oil pump.
CAUTION
To install the inner rotor, make sure that the protrusion [B] of
the inner rotor properly mates with the cutout [A] at the end
of the camshaft. If they are not mated correctly, it could cause
serious damage.
On the FE350 and 400, verify that the oil filter [C] is securely fitted.
Oil Pump Inspection
The oil pressure specification is 31.4 kpa (3.2 kg/cm
