SETTING TAPPETS/CLEANING MINI FILTER

[iandouglas]

HI GANG.
I got up Saturday did the tappets first time they have been done in 40k.
no 3,4,5 were all tight (no free play at all) and no 8 had a gap of 55mm.
set all to 25mm engine just slightly warm. running for 5 mins.

had an injector loose so took that out cleaned a lot of residue out of threads refitted found a cracked bleed of pipe so drilled out old one soldered pipe in again and used a plastic pipe to connect it back to the rail.
UPDATE INJECTOR LEAKING AGAIN where is the lock tight

MINI FILTER :?
took power steering pump of took banjo bolt out .(NO SPRING OR FILTER)

AM NOW DRAGGING AIR IN SO WILL HAVE TO REMOVE BANJO AND CLEAN SURFACES UP AND WIPE WASHER .I PUT IT BACK WITHOUT CLEANING IT UP SO SUSPECT A BIT OF GRIT OR SOMETHING IN THERE.

MAKES ME WONDER
IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT. :roll:

Ian becareful with that thread i dont know if you read the drama i had but mine started with a weeping banjo bolt after realising some kind person had taken out half the thread, on a previous service, if your threads are U/S dont forget i've got a recoil kit for that thread :roll: :? 8O 8O

at least the treads are a brass insert, that are a little tougher than the jap alloy, monkey metal, the rest of the pump is made of :lol:
