    Mini diesel engine.

    But my cylinder is only drilled and then reamed to 2mm H7 The plunger is then put to size and cleaned well in boiling water to prevent that i try to not use diamond paste! I am aware of that and as u said the plunger has to have a mirror finish u where not right! Such tight pressure fits are...

    Mini diesel engine.

    here u can see the leak is slightly visible on the lubrication hole . this is usualy where the pump gets a drop of oil, in my case the fuel /kerosene forms small drops but it got worse after i messed around with a new plunger and now i have no plunger wich is tight, or i should better say the...

    u think i havent already tried that ? i already lapped my 7th plunger and housing just now and it failed again. like i said i have information from the probalby most reliable guy and he uses o rings on all his engines since the early 1990s and they never failed he said. i just dont know if he...

    it would be a milkrun for me to make a big injection pump. but the sizes we are talking are so small..for my first working plunger it tookme 4 try to get one good one and this one started to kleak, and find said himself it is impossible on our smallmachines and tools to get that perfect fit...

    @Mechanicboy! this makes sense on some bigger engines but i thinku underestimate the size of the pump, it is only 20mm high with the top art a bit more . and according to find hansens informations there is no o ring above the plunger , there is a housing for the plungerspring and a nut to...

    Mini diesel engine.

    i didnt think about that so far. somehow truw but on finds waterpump u see the o ring is in the bottom and there is no nut or anything. sure it is the water and not the injection pump but i think the o rings are the key. i looked up model excavator micro hydraulic pistons and they use o rings...
