removal of fuel pump then back on she goes hopefully?

Post by Bongo.Baz.tard » Thu Apr 01, 2010 6:47 pm

Just got a replacement fuel pump cause i replaced the seals in mine but still leaking.
I was gonna put this into a garage to relace the pump and THE SEAL AT THE FRONT OF THE PUMP WHERE IT MEETS THE ENGINE BLOCK.
But i was thinking of doing it myself . I read on here that its just a case of engine at TDC and line up the pump with the timing mark . Then i was gonna get it to a garage to fine tune the timing for the pump.
WHAT I WAS WONDERING WAS :will i get the seal from lawsons diesels cause i dont see them in the club shop? And will it run if i remove the pump and replace it the way i described? where is timing marks for TDC and are they easy to see /adjust?
ANYTHING I NEED TO KNOW?
Should i just forget DIY and put it into the garage? :roll:

If my memory is still working I think you need a dial gauge to set the pump up correctly. You will find the solution here. :wink:

Mine was changed and dialed in by Bell Hill, it is now spot on...... if you haven't got the equipment to "dial" it in then I would take it in to be fitted IMHO.... you could DIY and then ask a diesel specialist to finely set it up, but then they could insist on more work other than the "dial" in set up .... just a thought...
