late HPOP test device build

Hello Gentlemen,
I would like to build a device to test second/late generation HPOPs.
To see how they work I have started to disassemble a pump.












Can anyone tell me how these inserts are fixed in the housing? I can't hammer them in, nor can I pull them out with an impact hammer.

also here the pictures if someone is interested.

The inside of the pump is very simple. In principle, nothing is inside that could break down.
If such a pump fails, it can only be caused by one or more of the 4 valves failing, otherwise there is nothing inside that could fail.

I also have an 03 engine and will also disassemble the 03 pump. These have much more common problems as we all know.

Nice photos I’m very very curious about the 03/04 pump photos. Late model HPOP has a good reputation

I will also disassemble the 03 pump to see where problems may occur. It is a mystery to me how the gear could loosen with your pump.

In the early HPOP there are 7 pump elements, the late pump has only 4 pump elements, but these are larger.
In general, the early pump has a much more complex design than the late pump. But why the early pumps fail so often I could not see. The functional principle is a million times in all kinds of pumps in use .

Failure mechanism in the 03-04 HPOP's - and possible "fix":

03-04.5 HPOP issues include a housing weakness (back plate wear-out) and swash plate issues (a light press fit is intended to hold the swash plate in place but apparently they can spin and cause failure). Also, there is documentation on rotating cylinder cracking. Wikipedia states that the gears were weak and cracked.

The angle I can unfortunately only measure in 4 weeks once I'm back home.
Since yesterday I am on vacation

Is it possible to replace a early build with a late build pump?

When you rebuild the engine, yes.

Since the new pumps run more reliably, I think that would be a reasonable change in a rebuild.
Maybe we could create a kind of list in which the changes are listed? The ICP harness could be extended.

If the engine is from a late build 2004 model year, the branch tube would need to be replaced with one from a 2005 and later engine. This would not be doable for a 2003 or early build 2004 engine with the straight oil rails that have standpipes which thread into the 2003 specific branch tube.

You're saying the early blocks are different so where the branch tubes can not be swapped?

My understanding is it can be done with changing the rocker carrier on the heads, oil rails, branch tubes, right valve cover, stand pipes, HPOP, STC fitting, and HPOP cover. The ICP harness would need to be lengthen to reach the valve cover.
