Dennis,

Does this injector pump leakage mean I need a rebuilt? Or can the pump get
a replacement seal in place as some have suggested to me?

If I need a rebuild who./were is a good source?
I called PartsPlaceInc. They have mine for $500 plus $34 for a recommend a
tool to lock Cam, and a head gasket.

If I do this it will be my first deep engine surgery.   I'd love to find a
coach in the Baltimore -Central Maryland area to work beside.

Frank
