OIL PUMP COMPONENT CONSTRUCTION [L3]


BUE011114100N01

Construction

• A chain driven type oil pump has been adopted whereby the crankshaft drives the inner rotor through the oil pump chain and oil pump sprocket.
• The oil pump component consists of the oil pump sprocket, oil pump chain, oil pump chain guide, oil pump chain tensioner, and oil pump chain tensioner spring.

• An efficient and compact 5-lobe epitrochoid and 6-flank inner envelope type gear have 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 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. The wear resistance has been improved by the nitriding processing of the pin constructing the oil pump chain.
