pipe is moved, pick-up pipe must be replaced to ensure an
airtight seal.
Disassembly & Inspection
1) Disassemble pump. See Fig. 8. Use feeler gauge and
straightedge to check gear end clearance. Place straightedge across
gears and pump body. Using feeler gauge, determine thickness feeler
gauge which fits snugly between straightedge and gears.
2) With gears installed in pump body, insert feeler gauge
between gear tooth and inner wall of pump body to check gear-to-body
clearance. Rotate gears and measure clearance at each gear tooth.
3) Compare measurements to specification. See OIL PUMP
SPECIFICATIONS table. Repair as necessary if not within
specifications. Check pressure regulator valve for wear or binding in
pump body. Replace components if wear or binding exists.

valve is the same diameter as that removed. Different
diameter valves may be used.
Reassembly & Installation
1) Reverse procedures for reassembly and installation. Apply
Permatex No. 2 to pick-up pipe prior to installation. Using Pipe
Installer (J-21882), install pick-up pipe. Ensure pick-up pipe support
bracket is aligned with pump cover bolt.
