  1. Clean all pump components in clean solvent. Blow dry. Inspect flow control valve assembly for wear, scoring, burrs or other damage. Inspect seal bore for burrs, nicks, or score marks that would allow oil to by-pass outer seal surface.
  2. Check all machined surfaces of body for scratches or burrs which might allow leaks. Check "O" ring mating surfaces. Inspect pump housing drive shaft bushing for excessive wear.
  3. If replacement is required, replace pump and bushing as an assembly. Inspect end plate "O" ring mating surface for nicks and burrs. Polish with oil stone (if required).
  4. Inspect rotor ring for roughness or irregularities. Use oil stone to correct minor irregularities. Replace ring if outside cam surface is worn or scored.
