Oil Injection Gear on Crank

[brownfish]

Is the composite oil injection gear on the crankshaft of a 2001 200 efi, 0T391597, supposed to be a tight fit? The crank and gear appear to be undamaged but the gear seems to have quite a bit of "slop" on the crank. I don't want to replace the gear unless it is necessary.

They are a slop fit...about 1/16 play

Thanks for the reply and good information. That kid of stuff only comes from experience and you can't get it in a service manual. Again, thanks.
