Hi all i've just taken some of your advice/tips on solving my leaky
injection pump. Thanks again for the help!!! I started by finding the o ring
seal at a somewhat local diesel shop 25 miles of leaving a small but
noticable when stopped trail of fuel to purchase part it took a 17 km wrench
for injector lines a 5 mm allen for cold start bracket a 10mm socket for the
accelerator cable bracket a crescent/ round it wrench for fuel sol. A 13 mm
for the rear timing adj. Mount  And a t30 torx for the four bolts holding
the pressure head? On. I started by removing any dirt by shooting brake
clean on all areas of work then taking they injection lines off the pump and
injectors then moving them away,then the cable brackets throttle and cold
start the cold start is also the rear mount bracket I loosly reinstalled two
of the torx bolts tha also hold the rear bracket the fully removed the othe
two top and bottom, then slowly and evenly backed the two longer bolts out
untill i could see the entire seal,I then carefully used a pic set sort of
forgot to mention that earlier to remove old gasket,then I stretched the new
gasket over the head? And mostly into place then loosly re installed the top
and bottom/shorter bolts and pulled longer ones out to get the seal into
place while not letting the head? Come out any further then carefully used
the same pic to ensure no twist yin the seal shot the seal with brake lead
to remove any debris then I squeezed  some lost fuel from a soaked rag to
lube the seal then I slowly and evenly tightend the top and bottom bolts
then re assembled tthe rest,started it,bled the air out if the injection
lines and checked for leaks there was none so job was done thanks to the
advice from fellow list members and the local flaps guy that gave me
online/internet  visual pics so i knew what I was looking for and getting
into to solve my dilemma.
