hello everyone,
im new to this site and im in need of some help. i have a 2003 ford f250 7.3l powerstroke with 152,000 miles. i have a leak coming from my hpop. i took it to a mechanic and the attempted to put a rebuild kit on the pump, but did not fully fix it. they said it was leaking out of the adjustment bolt but, the bolt does not screw loose. they said i would need a new pump. i am asking if this adjustment bolt is true or not. i can not seem to find any info on this bolt,so im at square one. looking for any advice.

thanks,
terry.

 

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Could you send us a picture that highlights the location of the "adjustment bolt"?

 

Find a new Mechanic.

The HPOP is a Gerotor oil pump. It just mates to the drive gear and goes round, round, round sump, sump, sump, pressure, pressure, pressure........

 

Here are pics of the one I removed off of truck at a salvage yard yesterday.

Just choose the picture that has it in it...could be more than one...and give us the location.

 

Could it be he's referring to a bad "O" Ring, leaking Non-Serviceable Plug, IPR, or something else?

 

my oil pump is leaking at the Non-Serviceable Plug. will i need to remove the pump to replace the o ring? it is a new pump with 1300m on it. don't wont to hijack the thread but i'm having the same problem.

 

You'll need to remove the pump and repair it with this: Serviceable Long Threaded HPOP Plug - Riffraff Diesel Performance

 

1,300 Miles? That's going back where I got it from!

 

Where did you get it?


Exactly!

 

Welcome to FTE. There is no adjustment bolt on the HPOP. Either identify which bolt is in question in the pictures above, or find a new mechanic that at least can look up what bolt does what.

 

My bad 13,000 and it is over 2 years old. it is a new Bosch from Riffraff. disappointing to remove and fix an engineering defect. I don't even know what the Bosch warranty is but 13,000 is sad. I ordered the recommended parts from Riffraff.

 

I don't know that will have any warranty. However, you could always call Riffraf and possibly meet an amicable agreement on a replacement. Or, Just re seal the one you have. In either event, you'll be removing and reinstalling.
