I don't think it will hurt your engine but you may experiance some sooting from incomplete combustion,(depending on how far retarded it is)

Well i said i would report back when i know more about the seal prob, I checked weephole behind seal and it was fine , this time however i did grease the seal lips and so far so good 100+ miles. I did'nt feel grease was needed on the first seals as the shaft was still wet with diesel, but i guess th...

Please don't quote me on this but i read somewhere the gasser and diesel 1.6 na blocks were identical.

Bless your pea pickin hearts. Just what i needed a honest good saint story, in the midst of all the worlds bad news. Pat yourselves on the back and great job guy's.

Yes i agree, even though i only used a light amount around outer seal ring i still think it's possible a tiny amount may be blocking the hole. I really appreciate everyones input and you can be assured i will thoroughly clean recess and won't use any type sealer again. Once again thanks to all and i...

Hey Fatmobile i stumbled upon a statement made by a guy who claims if the weep hole behind the seal is stopped up that it would build up pressure. I found this by googleing leaking injector pump shaft seal. Well anyways i might have became my own worse enemy. When i put the first seal in i used a li...

Hey Fatmobile i will definately recheck the out bolt for obstruction.I checked it while i had unit down and it seemed fine but i'm ready to try anything now. Oh BTW i found a small steel spacer thats works perfectly as a seal pusher. You only have to start it strait and then put your wheel with the ...

I just resealed my known good pump and it works great. I did not touch any pressre setting while apart. Trouble is now it goes to leaking around front seal after a few days (this makes twice) the first time i blammed the seal but now i've used a different brand and the same thing. Also i've always t...

I guarantee you that i now always suspect ign. switch. I had a restart prob. on my 1.6 na and finally after checking to make sure it was getting voltage to solenoid during running position, i tried an experiment and hooked up a meter during cranking and sure enough there it was, an extremely intermi...

Yeah i tried all that and i did get lots more power and smoke but no help with smoothness. I wonder if someone had messsed around with the governor /throttle springs etc.

Well it looks like i finally was able to cure my jerking/surging prob. with my 1.6 na. I took a known good pump and resealed it and now my problem is gone. It nows pulls steadily now with no bucking or surging. What inside a I.P. could cause it to act that way? I can only think the governor maybe?

Hager the club thing was in jest, but i like your idea about the injection system . Trouble is i'm definately not qulified for that sort of thing. Rebuilding a pump is one thing but being a expert on injection systems is quite a different thing. Any takers?

I've used it Coke and one thing i noticed was the morning after i used it , the car started rough and stumbled & then blew some foul smoke out but generally ran better afterwards. I can only attribute that to maybe some kind of material build up that loosened overnite.

Yes i did do the complete tearown , with the exception of removing the vanes My pump was in great shape and needed no internal parts so the seals was what it needed the most.

Thanks and please let me know how it works out.
