Measure pressure plate flatness.
USE AGAINUse the plate again after the carbon is removed by ultrasonic cleaning. Small surface marks on the bronze face can be removed by a procedure known as "touch lapping". To touch lap, cover surface plate 7B-0337 with 180 grit crocus cloth. Wet the cloth thoroughly with clean petroleum-based solvent. Place the part that is being touch lapped on the wet cloth with the surface that is being touch lapped facing down on the cloth. Move the part in the shape of the number "8". Wash the part in clean solvent after touch lapping. Allow the part to dry at room temperature.Be sure that the plate is not bent. Check thickness according to Table 9. Check for pressure plate flatness by holding the two plates together with the bronze side facing each other. If a 0.18 mm (0.007 inch) feeler gauge fits between the two plates, the plates are no longer acceptable.

The tip of the isolation plate is broken. Isolation plates are not found on all pumps. Some of the Group 2 pumps and motors have isolation plates. The pump and motor part numbers for Group 2 are 145-3996, 145-3997, 186-5430, 188-3304, 207-8611, 212-5948, 223-3750, 223-3751, 223-3753, 231-6587, 237-7419, and 289-3530.
