The rotor identification mark for re-assembly and rotor retention "C" clip is changed.
Figure 8:
CII pumps built since August 1982 no longer have rotors with the small triangular detent on the counterbore to indicate that this is the up side when reassembling (Figure 8). When servicing a pump built since that time it is necessary to determine which side has the larger counterbore and face that side up. It is important that the larger counterbore be up or the "C" clip will not install properly on the shaft. Then it would be necessary to remove the rotor from the cam, turn it over and re-install the slippers and springs.
Also, pumps built since February of 1983 have different rotor retention "C" clip (Figure 8). Either clip will fit on the shaft but the new clip is preferred.
