Important
Bold reference numbers in this section identify parts not shown in the figures alongside the text, but which can be found in the exploded view diagram.
Removal of the oil pump
 
Undo and remove the screws (9) and (10) securing the pump assembly.
Remove the oil pump assembly (1) and extract the O-rings (2) and (4) from the crankcase half together with two locating bushes (15).
Disassembly of the oil pump
Hold the oil pump (1) in a vice taking care not to damage the drive gear (12).
Warning
Make sure that vice jaws are faced with soft material.
 
Remove the plug (14) and extract the spring (16) and by-pass valve (17).
Check the condition of the above components.
Remove the circlip (6), slide off the bush (13) and the circlip (3).
Slide out the pump drive gear (12).
Reassembly of the oil pump
Fit on the oil pump the pump drive gear (12), the circlip (3) and the bush (13).
Tighten the parts just fitted, inserting the circlip (6) in its seat.
Insert in the pump the by-pass valve (17), the spring (16) and screw the plug (14) and tighten the plug (3) to a torque of 17 Nm (Min. 15 Nm - Max. 19 Nm) Sect.  3 - 3, Engine torque settings) by applying a threadlocker of medium strength.
Refitting the oil pump
If removed, apply specific threadlocker on the bushing (7) and screw it in the crankcase half, observing the height.
Position the reference bushings (15) and the oil sealing O-rings (2) and (4) according to the crankcase lubrication channels.
Place the oil pump (1) on the crankcase and tighten the screws (9) to a torque of 26 Nm (Min. 23 Nm - Max. 29 Nm) and the screw (10) to a torque of 10 Nm (Min. 9 Nm - Max. 11 Nm) (Sect.  3 - 3, Engine torque settings).
Check the gear backlash with the driving pinion by fixing a dial gauge, equipped with the relevant stylus, to the crankcase half.
Position the dial gauge stylus on one tooth of oil pump gear and set the gauge to zero in this position.
Move the gear slightly to measure the backlash; take four readings in diametrically opposed positions of the gear.
The clearance should be 0.10 mm.
