Yes they can be disassembled and cleaned just don't mix parts. By cleaning, that's solvent only, no abrasive or mechanical cleaning of the plungers as the fits and finish are in millions of an inch. Any rusting means it's a no go.
So, how do they come apart? [attachment=53638]pump.JPG[/attachment] I am just trying to get it to run long enough to see if it is worth messing with. If the engine is blown up I am done.
you could try first pouring in some kroil oil or PB blaster and let it soak in a few days. did you make sure you bled all the air out of the system and that the filters are not clogged? what did your pressure gauge read when you were spinning the diesel?
I could not get pressure with the lift pump, so I put a holley fuel pump on it. It will peg the gauge. I am getting plenty of fuel to the injector pumps. With it turning over I get little squirts out of three of them and nothing out of one.
injectors don't really need a lot of fuel so it may be sufficient for the injector to fire.--- on the third pump did you pull the side off the injector pump and check that it is just not hung up? I had that happen to two of my pumps, and with lots of Kroil oil and gently working them down and up they did break loose

Yes, I have that cover off. The rod with the gear on it, I can push that up with no resistance. I need to get a book I guess so I can at least have names for these parts when i ask questions. But I hate to spend a bunch of money just to find out it is scrap.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
