Swapping TD42 injector pumps - help needed please.
Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2008 7:06 pm
I am fitting a turbo setup to a N/A TD42 using the parts from an overheated donor engine which came along at the right price.
The donor engine has an aneroid fuel pump which I'm thinking I'd like to use - ie swap with the pump on the engine which is getting the turbo.
The procedure for removing/replacing the pump in the (Gregory's) manual looks fairly straight-forward - are there any traps to watch out for?
If I make a mark on each pump which lines up with the same mark on the timing gear housing is the injector timing likely stay the same once I'm done? Does the injector timing gear normally come off easily enough? Dropping the woodruff key into the timing housing looks like a potential risk..... how about the injector lines - are they easy enough to disconnect from the pump?
Thanks - any tips for a first timer will be appreciated as I dont want to bugger this up.........
