    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    *update* So I replaced the IP that had the leak and shimmed them as mentioned in this thread. I also suspected that there was some bad fuel so I kinda threw everything I had at the machine. I replaced the fuel and separator filters, did an oil change and a few upgrades. She is running strong...

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    I confirmed that it was leaking from the body of the IP. Once I had a bead of weld applied it stopped leaking. Just to be safe I ordered a new one. When it comes to installing the IP I always only removed one at a time and was sure to move the adjustment pin far left. I've never had to force...

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    It definitely makes sense and I've noticed the same. I'm using crimp clamps and when I pinch the clamp it causes a portion to become raised. When I install the IP I turn the hose to move the raised portion out of the way.

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    Just from reading the TM it is made to sound that finding the correct shim thickness is imperative

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    Perfect, I've also noticed that the set runs smoother turning them that way. Thanks again Ray.

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    I should have asked but I didn't think about it until now. You can hit a pushrod tube going in both directions. Did you turn the IP clockwise or counterclockwise to hit the pushrod tube?

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    Thanks for clearing that up, I was concerned that it would be a pain in the butt to get the shim thickness correct

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    I was assuming that because you are starting with new parts you would have to reshim the IP since the tolerances have changed.

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    I everything stamped on the housings match exactly. The LP part number, a TPF# and the delphi-II markings are all the same.

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    The plot thickens. So I decided to pull the other IP and disassemble it to compare because prior to this I've only disassembled the leaking IP. I've laid out the two, so the IP on the right is the untouched one. It has two extra parts that the other one does not. I've also attach a pic of...

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    The fuel leak was around the IP inlet fitting where the low pressure hose connects. I had a guy run a bead of weld around it and it stopped. I'll get pics up in a few days. Once I got it all back together I gave it a test run to check for leaks and it ran fine for a few minutes then sputtered...

    Mep80Xa injector pump leak

    As the title says I have an injector pump leaking fuel. I've ripped the whole thing apart, cleaned it and replaced the o-ring on the high pressure side. I double checked the fuel line and when I put in all back together today I replaced the hose clamp with a new crimp clamp on the low pressure...
