E: INSPECTION
S178070A10
1. TIP CLEARANCE
Measure the tip clearance of rotors. If the clear­ance exceeds the limit, replace rotors as a matched set.
Tip clearance: Standard
0.04 - 0.14 mm (0.0016 - 0.0055 in) Limit
0.18 mm (0.0071 in)
Measure clearance between oil pump inner rotor and pump cover. If the clearance exceeds the limit, replace rotor or pump body.
Side clearance: Standard
0.02 - 0.07 mm (0.0008 - 0.0028 in) Limit
0.12 mm (0.0047 in)
