Wasn't there someone recently that posted a pic of their pump that had broken off in the block... lower portion of pump housing and plunger were still in the block when he pulled the pump?

If you just need another pump to get you by, I have one on the shelf left over from my efuel swap.

^^^^ This is why you crank the engine after removing the bolts and fittings. The cam lobe should push the whole pump up out of the block and prevent it from breaking off on removal (or at least make it much less likely).

Repped, BTW; that's an awesome offer, and an example of what makes FTE rock.

Well that would be awesome! Im not sure how long it will be until I get the e fuel but another pump would be great. I think the current one on my motor has been replaced by the previous owner, but i know it was a store brand part. They had autolite glow plugs in and the wrong HPOP for the 95 motor. I should have changed the pump while i had the motor out but I didnt...
