OIL PUMP CONSTRUCTION [L8, LF, L3]


id0111b21006b1

• The oil pump is installed inside the engine front cover. The crankshaft drives the inner rotor through the oil pump chain and oil pump sprocket.
• The oil pump component consists of the oil pump body, oil pump sprocket, oil pump chain, oil pump chain guide, and oil pump chain tensioner.
• An efficient and compact five-lobe epitrochoid and six-flank inner envelope type gear has been adopted on the oil pump.
• 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 single unit.

• A silent chain (link connecting type) has been adopted to the oil pump chain to reduce chain operation noise when the chain and the sprocket engage.
• The engine oil in the engine front cover lubricates the oil pump chain. Wear resistance has been improved using nitriding processing of the pins constructing the oil pump chain.
• The sintered material in the oil pump sprocket has been furnace hardened to improve durability.
