Hey everyone,
I had just broken in my new lifters, rocker shaft, etc. on a 200, and I fired her up to go for a drive, when I heard a clicking that sounds very much like a dry lifter or something. JackFish of Winnipeg recommended that I check my fuel pump, which would be smart, because I was about to start taking my head off and inspect my lifters (!!!). haha.
Anywho, I'm gonna put a new pump on today and see if she quiets down. I was wondering though.... Is pressurized oil gonna pour out of the cavity from which I'll be removing the pump? How is the pump arm oiled? I'll probably just throw a pan under the car anyway, but was wondering how this will affect my pressure at the top end.
Any recent fuel pump replacements done by a member? Any tips are welcome.
Thanks again to JackFish for saving me the time of pulling my head without exhausting the possibilities. Peace.
