A while ago I posted that mine was leaking. The engine starts, runs,
and leaks. I went to a mechanic today and he said there is an
inspection port that has allignment marks on it and that if these are
aligned with a mark on the housing, I should be able to remove that
pump and take it to a rebuild shop. Question: Has any of you done this?
I can take anything apart, but if it has to have timing marks alligned-
what can I expect or look for??
Thanks to all for this.
Ernie-83PT40 in Montana- why should this leak-- only has 6500 hours on
the clock???
Thank you very much, John. I did not realize that was an Allen head bolt in
the back of the pump. I , too, have lots of paint on the pump. Can you forward
some cash for the rebuild?? VBG!!

Good Morning Ernie,
I'm not sure what inspection port that the mechanic is talking about,
but I just recently removed and replaced the injector pump on my
Perkins and here are a couple of photo tips for you, the first one
will show you where those timing marks are located, believe me they
are very hard to see, check out;

The second photo tip will show you what it takes to remove the
backside bolt on the injector pump;

Be sure to follow the instructions on the injector pump removal found
in the Perkins Workshop Manual under SECTION N.
I will expect this repair to be completed on your injector pump and
ready for my inspection when I arrive up there next month :o)

Ernie,
You might want to go to the Links section and look at the Perkins
Engine Repair Manual that is available online. It is a very big help.
