    thats good jerry. before zeus puts it back together he should stick the fuel hose coming from the filters in a bucket and turn the pump on to double check for bubbles going into the pump.

    new toy

    john, now kids are building them themselves for $400-$500 on up. triple jim's kid built both of his himself. he got me all fired up on it again so i had to finally break down and get one. once you get out of the kit or homemade ones and into a well engineered desktop unit they generally average...

    thanks! its definitely a very cool device. make just about any plastic item you want to. there is a pretty good learning curve to it though.

    new toy

    pretty good actually. they feel basically the same. they lack the metal sleeve core but they do have the set screw. i tried one today without even putting the setscrew in and i thought i was going to break the actual switch so i would say while they arent mil-spec they are stronger than they...

    Glow Plugs

    it is possible there were none. thats great you got it out. i highly recommend you coat the threads in copper antisieze compound. it will make life much easier down the road

    Injector Pump Thrust Washer

    yeah thats usually a brass or gold colored metal washer. i would order one and make sure its there when you put it back together. even if you had the old style pump i still believe that washer is there. i have never seen a pump without one.

    i dont know what is inside those things. probably some type of ceramic encapsulated resistor wire in a metal shell.

    Glow Plugs

    if you drill all the way to the bottom of the hole where the copper gasket would be sitting you will separate the electrode from the body. you dont want to do that. just drill in 3/4" of so. enough to get an easy out in there or something then the whole thing will come out together....hopefully.

    New Member/Western North Carolina RE: MEP 003A

    while cranking i would think you would see some white smoke or something if those injectors were firing. as one of the other guys said before, the pump may be pumping but it does have to be building atleast 1750 lbs in order to pop those injectors. you will need to pull an injector, hook it up...

    Glow Plugs

    well not really. as long as you dont go so deep that you bottom out and separate the electrode from the body. if you do that then the electrode could end up in the engine.

    Glow Plugs

    Yup 7/16x20 is right jerry

    Glow Plugs

    Well i would do whatever i had to to get it out. If you pull the injector just the tip sticks through into the port. Pull the injector, Drill it, heat it and just work it that way.
