2-2.5.1. Oil Pump
The engine-driven, gear type oil pump (Figure 2-13) is a positive displacement pump that
consists of two meshed steel gears that revolve inside the oil pump cavity machined in the
accessory case. The camshaft drives the oil pump drive gear, which drives the oil pump
driven gear. The oil pump driven gear is supported by a shaft pressed into the accessory
case and the oil pump cover plate. The oil pump drive gear shaft is supported by bushings
pressed into the accessory case. The oil pump gear shaft incorporates provisions to drive a
mechanical tachometer.
The oil pump housing and oil pump gear chambers are machined in the interior of the
accessory case. The oil pump drive gear shaft bore is machined in-line with the camshaft;
the driven gear shaft rests in the bore directly above the drive shaft.
