hi, i jst measured my oil pump i got out of a 7mgte block.
i measured it per tsrm

.051mm body clearance
TSRM MAX-0.2mm

.457mm backlash
TSRM MAX-0.9mm

side clearance (didnt know how to measure that)

but i noticed the drive shaft sits a bit higher than the driven gear, and it has started to rub against the top cover. is that bad?

i know its best to get a new oil pump but i was just making sure if its bad or good. Thanks.
