Hi there,
the pump on my 1HZ engine (1993) is leaking. It appears that the diesel is dripping fro the left hand side time cover, thus accessible without taking the pump out. I have had a look into manual and suspect that the two o-rings behind the timer cover are worn out. I have the o-ring replacement set ready to go but would also be ok to have the pump rebuild if unavoidable (I try to postpone that a long as possible).
I service my vehicle usually myself, but this would be the first time touching the injector pump. However, I want to give it a try. Now the question is how difficult is it to access the o-rings. From the drawing in the manual it should be quite okish, but I would have to take out the timer adjustment screws behind which a spring and the timer subpiston sits (Maybe I am overdoing already). Since the timer adjustment screw has its name for some reason, I guess after taking it out I would have to screw it back in to the same position (rounds) as before. Is there any way to "remember" the screw position or would I have to buy some timing tools to get it right??
Thanks a lot
