Oil Jet Inspection

1. Remove the oil jet (see page 8-14), and inspect it as follows.

- Make sure that a 1.2 mm (0.05 in) diameter drill will go through the nozzle hole (A) (1.31 mm (0.052 in) diameter).

- Insert the other end of a 1.9 mm (0.07 in) drill into the oil intake (2.0 mm (0.079 in) diameter). Make sure the check ball (B) moves smoothly and has a stroke of about 2.0 mm (0.079 in).

- Check the oil jet operation with an air nozzle. It should take at least 325 kPa (3.9 kgf/cm2,47psi) to unseat the check ball.

NOTE: Replace the oil jet assembly, if the nozzle is damaged or bent.

2. Carefully install the oil jet. The mounting torque is critical.
