1986 22R Fuel Pump Problem
Hello everyone,
I searched but could not find a similar problem. 1986 22R 225k rebuilt motor. Replaced the fuel pump last month, about 500 miles since. Truck died yesterday, seemed fuel related so replaced the filter, no change. Removed the pump and found that the lever on the pump(mechanical)had broken off. I can't see or feel the broken off piece, so its now in the motor.
My questions:
1. Is the pump failure most likely due to an improper install? I felt like the cam was in the right position when I installed it(lowest), or could it been a faulty pump?
2. How big of a deal is this? How do I get the broken piece out? Is it most likely in the oil pan by now?
I will greatly appreciate any helpful advice that anyone can offer.
Thanks Yotatech
