Inspection
Inspect the oil pump housing, gear, and rotors for
nicks, burrs, wear, or any visible damage. If any parts
are worn or damaged, replace the oil pump.
Inspect the oil pressure relief valve piston. It should be
free of nicks or burrs.
Check the spring for wear or distortion. The free
length of the spring should be approximately 47.4 mm
(1.8 in.). Replace the spring if it is distorted or worn.
