Assuming your pump is ok, you can save yourself some later work. Once the pump is off the engine, don't spin the pump right away. Instead, take a marker and draw a line on the pump body and the gear. Before you re-install the pump, make sure the line is, well, lined up. This way, you won't have to go through re-timing the engine and the pump (assuming you don't spin the engine once the pump is off). I hope that made sense!

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I've been reading as much as I can find about the Bosch pump. Maybe I can get back on this today.

... I'm starting to think I may just part this machine out. Probably get more than my money back that way. At least break even. Large boat anchor!

Yeah, considering what's already missing & the unknown operational state of what's there it would be expensive & very time consuming to pursue bringing it back to life. You should be able to get your money back & perhaps make some extra $ for your time.
