1. Remove the oil jet Service and Repair, and inspect it as follows.

- Make sure that a 1.2 mm (3/64 in) diameter drill bit will go through the nozzle hole (A) (1.31 mm (0.052 in) diameter).
- Insert the other end of a 1.9 mm (1/64 in) drill bit 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 380 kPa (3.9 kgf/cm2, 55 psi) to unseat the check ball.

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