Guys
I’m doing a timing job on my 14 Expi EL 5.43v
When checking over the new chain routing (drivers side) before pulling the pin on the new tensioner I noticed how tight the gap is between the chain on the crank gear and the pump body (it’s tight!) if I pushed on the chain it would touch the casing.. I was pretty concerned … would a little lash cause it to rub on the oil pump?
I stripped off the chain gear and loosened the pump to make sure that it was seated properly on the block .. it was, I compared the old crank gear to the new. Identical.
It almost looks like it needs a thrust washer.
Q. Is the M360HV thicker than the standard pump ? Is it always that tight ?
I looked at Maluku’s video and it’s difficult to see a reference for the depth.
Anyone come across this?
Picture is obviously without the crank gear and chain fitted.
