I pulled an injection pump off of a 83 6.2 civy blazer at the local junkyard. Never having done this I was in for a bit of a surprise how time consuming it was going to be. when I started it was complete as if the truck had just left the road, probably why it took an hour and a half to get it off! My question: I was gentle as could be to slide it rearward off of the studs, and some prying was required....more than I think would be normal. When it was pulled off, looking at the hole in the injection pump that would normally be against the back of the timing cover, I can see the bearings the the shaft coming out of the timing cover rearward would ride on......but the shaft stayed in the timing cover and didn't want to come out....it looked like it came apart right to me but since i've never done a removal of one, I dont really know what i'm looking at. basically i'm trying to make sure I didn't break a cardinal rule, of disassembly and miss some hidden retainer clip somewhere and that the pump I got is not missing something(shaft that comes out of timing cover). Also, are there any cover plates that can be removed to check the condition of the pump? It still has pink marking goo on all of the critical adjustment points, is that factory or does it indicate it been tweaked/ rebuilt? Thanks in advance
