JX injector pump queries

[mrted]

Has anyone tried transplanting the rotor head and pump top, to another injector pump body?

I took two pumps to pieces today and put all the JX parts into an old industrial pump body.

The internal drive could potentially go in 180 degrees out as there are two positions is this critical will it put the pump timing out?

It all seems to have gone back together ok and seems to rotate ok.

It will be a while before the rest of the engine is finnished, just wondered if anyone else had played around with one?

Thanks

I dont know a lot about Diesel pumps but what you have described i would say that it should be put back together not 180 out of line, However why are you doing this?

Hello,

there was too much end float on the original pump drive sprocket,

I could move the pulley by a couple of mm

and I am curious as to wether it will work when it has been reassembled!

I'm not sure if anyone is so interested, but I had the pump up and running last week,

the timing was fine so no problems with it being 180 degrees out after all.

I did take the pump top off and check I had fitted everything correctly.

The pump seemed to run and idle correctly, but hasn't been road tested yet.

Does anyone know the torque settings for the torx headed bolts on the pump head?

Thanks
