Pump, Fuel Injection, High Pressure: Installation

WARNING:

High-pressure lines deliver diesel fuel under extreme pressure from the injection pump to the fuel injectors. This may be as high as 2000 bar (29, 008 psi). Use extreme caution when inspecting for high-pressure fuel leaks. Fuel under this amount of pressure can penetrate skin causing personal injury or death. Inspect for high-pressure fuel leaks with a sheet of cardboard. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when servicing fuel system.

CAUTION:

Do Not Force the high pressure pump into the right timing cover or attempt to seat it by drawing it in with the bolts. The pump gear must be properly aligned with the drive gear on the camshaft before the high pressure pump will seat on the cylinder head mounting surface. Failure to properly align drive gears will damage the high pressure pump or camshaft drive gear.

NOTE:

The fuel injection pump needs to be timed before it can be installed. Use a commercially available degree wheel to time the fuel injection pump.
