OIL PUMP CONSTRUCTION[LF, L3]


id0111b5100600

•  The oil pump is installed inside the engine front cover. The crankshaft drives the inner rotor through the oilpump chain and oil pump sprocket.
•  The oil pump component consists of the oil pump sprocket, oil pump chain, oil pump chain guide, oil pumpchain tensioner, and oil pump chain tensioner spring.
•  The oil pump consists of the inner and outer rotors, relief valve, and oil pump body.
•  The oil pump cannot be disassembled. If there is an oil pump malfunction, replace it as a unit..

•  A silent chain (link connecting type) has been adopted to the oil pump chain to reduce chain operation noisewhen the chain and the sprocket engage.
•  The engine oil in the engine front cover lubricates the oil pump chain. The wear resistance has been improvedby the pins constructing the oil pump chain.
•  The oil pump sprocket is sintere hardened metals to improve durability.
