leyland 272 injector pump

[agrimax]

Anybody know if the rotary dpa pump on the 4/98 BMC engine can just be removed without setting the timing first? ie.....Is there a cardan shaft with a master spline and is it a case of removing the pipes and cables and then the 3 nuts that hold the pump to the front cover and the pump comes away? Ta.....

From memory there is a master spline so you cannot go wrong, Depends if I trust my memory!!!

Thanks 8100. Don't need the pump off now. Couldn't get diesel at the injectors at all but after continuous tapping on the pump with cranking the engine, it finally started. Thought it was probably the inner stop control sticking and maybe needed the pump overhauled but it has freed up after adding a few litres of ATF to the diesel. Starting again every time after using the stopper....

Top cover lifts off easy to clean any gritty crap in stop mechanism,
Check inlet filter into the pump too it might of been removed thus allowing more sediment into pump
Glad it's going though

Inlet filter was dirty too but it was the inner mechanism that was sticking. Trying to avoid lid removal as I've run out of new gaskets at the minute.............The ATF has done it's job.
