Cutting T-Joints: Rear Cover
• The T joint is where the bedplate gasket is
bonded to the rear cover. This bond must be
cut prior to removing the rear cover.
• After you loosen all of the bolts you can slide a
cutting tool between the block/bedplate and the
rear cover to sever the bonding compound.
NOTE: Failure to cut the T joint will stretch the
bedplate gasket and result in an oil leak!
High Pressure Fuel Injection Pump: Gear Service
NOTE: Use proper cleanliness practices
while servicing the fuel system!
NOTE: Severe engine damage can
occur if installed incorrectly!
• It is possible to tighten the gear on the high pressure
fuel injection pump with the gear backwards. The gear
and shaft both have a taper that needs to match.
• If you tighten the gear with it backwards the
tapers will not be aligned but the bolt will
start providing a means of tightening.
• Please pay special attention to insure that the gear is
installed correctly with the tapers on both the gear and
the high pressure fuel injection pump shaft aligned.
