Coat the valve with engine oil, and then check that it falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.


If the valve does not fall smoothly, replace the timing chain cover sub-assembly.

2. INSPECT OIL PUMP ROTOR SET

Check the rotor tip clearance.

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

  • Standard tip clearance:
  • 0.06 to 0.16 mm (0.00236 to 0.00630 in.)
  • Maximum tip clearance:
  • 0.16 mm (0.00630 in.)

If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing chain cover sub-assembly.


Check the rotor side clearance.

Using a feeler gauge and steel square, measure the clearance between the rotors and precision straightedge.

  • Standard side clearance:
  • 0.030 to 0.075 mm (0.00118 to 0.00295 in.)
  • Maximum side clearance:
  • 0.075 mm (0.00295 in.)

If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing chain cover sub-assembly.


Check the rotor body clearance.

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

  • Standard body clearance:
  • 0.250 to 0.325 mm (0.00984 to 0.0128 in.)
  • Maximum body clearance:
  • 0.325 mm (0.0128 in.)

If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing chain cover sub-assembly.
