   4. Remove Tool and use feeler gauge to measure gap between gauging cylinder and gauging plunger. This measurement should give exact total end play.

      Total end play T ₁  : 

      1. 0.25 - 0.55 mm (0.0098 - 0.0127 in) 
      • If end play is out of specification, decrease or increase thickness of oil pump cover bearing race as necessary.
