Fuel Pump Tappet
I am having the same problem and ran a search last night on the forum. I found this link to be very good reading
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...ight=fuel+pump
Can anyone tell me about the tappet? I read that it is possible that it could fall into the engine while removing the pump and that you should bump the engine over till the cam lobe is at the top. I have never seen a pump or tappet in person, so I don't have a concrete idea of the danger.
Is the tappet attached to the pump by friction only?
Would it be possible to run a string under the pump after the bolts are removed and tie it off before removing the pump?
