Timing marks for fuel injection pump, BMC 2.2 diesel?

It will be hiding where you can't reach Be ready to catch bits which might fall out as the shaft comes free.

It's out, and, as far as I can tell, no bits in the bilge.

And ..... ahem ..... shuffle, shuffle ..... there are, of course, 3 studs that hold it, as any fool knows.

Hmmmm ......... no sign of a torque bar, though. How worried do I need to be about that?

If its not in the engine end, don't worry about it, these older pumps may well have not had one fitted.

Glad you found #3 !

Are you taking the injectors and the pump to a diesel service place to get them all sorted in one go?

Thanks again, Boater Sam.

I'm open to persuasion about the injectors.

The engine started easily, and ran perfectly three weeks ago today.

So, if they find fault/s with the injection pump, maybe the injectors are ok: does that sound logical, or just hopelessly optimistic?

For what they will charge you for checking and setting the pressures on the injectors it will be well worth it whilst you have the pipes off anyway. You will need new fire and copper washers sets for the injectors.

You score well on the pragmatism scale, as usual!

You could be a tight Welshman like me and anneal the old ones.

True, I do and I'm not of a skinflint ethnic group but the fire washers, on the end of the injectors in the top hats, are steel, conically shaped.
