Oil Pump Diagram - Inner/Outer Rotor, Pressure Regulator & Oil Flow (A16546-A)

Oil pump component diagram identifying inner and outer rotors, pump body, pressure regulator and oil flow paths.

AI caption · Photo 225 of 912

This document is a single labeled line-art illustration of an engine oil pump assembly, shown installed in/against the engine front cover or pump housing. Callouts identify the main components of a gerotor-style oil pump: the INNER ROTOR and OUTER ROTOR at the center of the pump cavity, the OIL PUMP BODY (the surrounding casting), and the PRESSURE REGULATOR (shown as a spring-loaded plunger assembly below the rotors). Directional arrows trace the oil flow path: oil enters FROM OIL PAN at the bottom, circulates around the rotor set, and exits TO OIL COOLER at the upper right. A PUNCH MARK is called out on the outer rotor, indicating an orientation/assembly reference mark. The figure reference number A16546-A appears at the bottom right. There are no torque values, part numbers (other than the figure number), dimensions, or year/model statements visible. A reader can learn the identity and relative position of oil pump internals, the oil flow direction through the pump, and that the rotor punch mark must be observed during assembly. The scan was filed under a 1993 Mazda MX-3, but the drawing itself contains no vehicle identification.

Frequently asked questions

What components of the oil pump are identified in this diagram?
The diagram labels the inner rotor, outer rotor, oil pump body, pressure regulator, and a punch mark on the rotor.
Which direction does oil flow through this pump?
Arrows show oil entering from the oil pan at the bottom, circulating around the rotor set, and exiting to the oil cooler at the upper right.
What is the punch mark called out in the diagram?
A punch mark is indicated on the outer rotor area, serving as an assembly/orientation reference mark.
Where is the pressure regulator located in this oil pump?
The pressure regulator is shown as a spring-loaded assembly installed in the pump body below the rotor set.
