I finally got my core pump torn apart. It was very interesting to see how it all goes together; it helps a lot with understanding adjustments. I'm pretty sure I could put a working pump back together and have it still work now!

Anyone want closer pics of any parts?


Oh, and I measured the plunger and was disappointed to find only 12mm...

 

Thats neat! I wonder what your wife thinks of you putting greasy, diesely parts on her tablecloth though .

Maybe you could take a pic of the inside the housing close up? Im curious haha.

I'm only 16, but my mom didn't like the idea too much.

Here's the housing from the back, where the head mounts:

And from the top where the cap mounts (you can see the hole where the piston for dynamic timing goes):

Oh, and it would look different if I could have gotten the screws out that hold the transfer pump in...

 

Thanks,

Well I guess I can relate, Im 17 and I don't think my folks would be to thrilled if I got hitched

BTW, Do you have MSN?

 

Yep, and you have a PM.

 

I have a PDF file showing the assembly of a 4cly version of the VE pump on a VW car. It is translated from french web forum but has a very good step by step.

Can PM me if you want it. 7MB file. or here is a link to the site translated by google.

Sorry guys, had to pull the link.

Gman, did you figure out what was wrong with the core pump?

 

Nope, I have no idea... When I got it back together though there was a little end play that I'll have to examine. I would like to put the pump together and see if it works, but I don't want to ruin a set of injectors or anything if it doesn't work. I also need to find the key that drives the transfer pump that I dropped somewhere in taking it apart . I did get a good look at the way the dynamic timing on these pumps works; I didn't really understand it before.

 

what would damage the injectors? pieces of the pump impersonating diesel fuel?
(just asking, not trying to be a wise guy. im rather new to diesels. even though i've had 2 gm 6.2's that i got to tow/push/pull/drag home often enough over the past 10 years)

 

on a side note, i used to wash carburators in the dishwasher before dunking them into the caustic pot of doom known as "carb cleaner". this works extremely well on engine scum (power steering brkts, etc) and i would recommend it before placing greasy parts on your mom's table cloth.

 

All I know is we've replaced the pump on my truck once, and when it went it took the injectors with it (something broke and squirted metal through the injectors). I washed the pump and all the parts in a bucket with some dishsoap before putting them on the table, but they still have the pleasant aroma of #2

 

Man, if you think she was mad about the tablecloth, just wait until you put 'em in the dishwasher! The only way you could make her madder is by baking homebrew powdercoated parts in her oven.
