So have had injectors and injector pumps down, pretended that I didn’t even drop a washer into engine, put everything back together and motor is running sweet as!! Hopefully washer is at bottom of sump doing no harm.

Have put new injectors and refurbished pumps back together on boat now. Bought a cheap flexible telescopic camera to see timing marks on flywheel, aligned dimple on pump with hole, everything perfect. Put both back together and engines didn’t fire. Questioned mechanic who did injectors and pump...

Great, away from boat for a few days and waiting on pumps to return. Doesn’t sound too complicated, cheers for advice, will let you know how I go!

2715e 120 Ford Lehman. Changed about 30 filters over 100 hrs of motoring. Constantly draining water traps on filters, motors stalling, change out filter, bleed, get going again! Port motor was worst and became quite Smokey on final 10 hours of journey, the same motor with the blocked injectors...

So after all my dirty fuel issues I pulled out injectors for a birthday. Guy at diesel shop said one of the two sets of injectors were completely blocked and full of water. Other side had normal wear. He recommended pulling off injector pump also for him to have a quick look at. This all sounds...

And I also assume these copper washers are the crush washers that I need to replace when I put return line back on injectors. I will wind motor over by hand before property firing her up. Is it not likely that washer will be sitting somewhere easy to retrieve if I do take off head??

I like the sound of not having to remove head!! Have read that fuel return line sometimes cracks, mine looks ok I think! I guess if still making oil after I put back together maybe injector pump the problem?? Had a horror run with bad fuel and engine was not loving life so hoping between new...

Cheers, I have dealt with Fred Warner for most my parts and am aware of American diesel. Will email him also.
