I just pulled out my IPR to fix a leak. It appears that the end that the solenoid goes on may have a little dent in it from the socket is this anything to worry about?

Also the spacer was in the galley so I don't know which way to put it back on.
It looks to me like the wide part of the spacer goes next to the solenoid and the small goes next to the nut. is that right??
thanks Keith

 

Keith, as long as the dent is a small one it should be fine, if it will slide back and forth on the IPR without sticking, then there is nothing to worry about.
The flat end of the spacer goes against the solenoid, and the small end against the nut.

 

There are moving parts inside the IPR , when you shake it ,does it still rattle ?...

 

Thanks for the reply Chuck (Cory)
I found the spacer in the galley while looking for an oil leak
I put it together that way and it is running. but I still have an oil leak.
It seams to be coming from the left of where the IPR is on the HPOP I think I feel like a keeper. Am I going to have to take the HPOP out to stop this leak? I cant see a way to remove the keeper if it would leak.
Also I am doing this all by feel cuz you cant see anything down there
Any thoughts

 

Rick the truck is running. I put it back in and did not shake it.

 

Must be OK .....

 

I have been trying to find this leak and am just getting more confused. I wa thinking that it is now coming from the nonserviceable plug but I can not feel it hands wont fit. When I run my hand under the pump next to the IPR and below the circular retaining ring I get. Would oil from the non serviceable plug run down to there? Or could I have a leak coming from the circular retaining ring?
Any thoughts

the non serviceable plug is actually serviceable

 

Where on this pic does it look like it's coming from?




The threaded opening in the picture is where your IPR goes. The 2 hose outlets, end plug, or non-serviceable plug have are the common leaks. A few have leaked at the rear plate held in with the snap ring.

 

if I run my hand on the bottom of the pump below the snap ring closer to the IPR. There is oil as far back as i can get my hand. I cannot get my hand back far enough to feel the no serviceable plug. to tell if it is making its way down the bottom of the pump.

Clean it up the best you can Kieth. Then check it after idle or a short drive and see if it's started leaking from any of the spots you can reach.

 

With air movement across the pump, a leak just about anywhere will coat the bottom of the pump. Oil will usually travel to the back of the pump and accumulate on the lip of the large plate on the back. Oil pressure behind the plate is low pressure so this is a very rare place for it to leak.

Most common HPOP leaks are:
1. discharge hose fittings
2. small plug on the back of the pump
3. serviceable "non-serviceable" plug on the bottom.
4. HPOP to front cover gasket

All of these places, with the exception of the bottom plug and mounting gasket can be repaired without pulling the pump but you have to find it first.

If the rear plug or discharge hoses are leaking, you can normally see a "clean" trail of oil where the oil has washed off any collected grime and dirt just below these fittings. If the fittings appear to be dry or evenly coated with dirt you will have to get everything cleaned up.

Clean up the pump and engine valley by spraying with Simple Green and flushing with garden hose pressure only. Avoid electrical connectors as much as possible.

When the engine has dried, push a clean white shop rag under the pump; you may need to use a screwdriver to get it under the pump/under the bottom plug.

Start the engine and rev it up a few times, if the leak is very small, you may have to take it out for a short drive.

Carefully remove the white rag and look for traces of oil seepage. Especially around where the bottom plug is located.

If no signs of seepage are on the rag, you may need to get a bright light and inspection mirror and try to look where the pump meets the front cover, just above the valley and just below the pump. If this area looks wet, it is probably the gasket that is seeping oil.

 

I will clean it all up tomorrow. And check back. One thing I will say, I would not call it small.
thanks
