Seized CAV fuel injection pump

[Kieron G]

Hi, After some advice from those in the know if possible please. I've got a CV engine and gearbox in my container which used to be fitted in a boat on Salcombe estaury before it was broken up. One of the injection pumps is seized from being stood, i've stripped it down as far as i can and it's been submerged in diesel for a few months . The pump looks very similar to ones i've seen advertised for Lister and Enfield engines but there are differences with port orientation. I was just wandering if there might be a method to free it off. I was thinking about warming it up a bit in the oven next to my pizza.

Yes - send it off to a reconditioners! You will probably find you need a new element anyway

Ok, thanks Richard, if its seized will they be able to strip it down ? also is it good practice to get both of them done and do you have any idea how much roughly i'd be looking at.

Peter Slater Ltd. in Scunthorpe are very good with older injection equipment. Regards, HughC.

I would send off both pumps and the injectors. The pump may well be stuck because of internal corrosion - which could include water in the diesel side. This in turn will lead to corroded (i.e. scrap) nozzles

That's great, thanks. Only 26 miles from here so will stop off with the parts next time i'm heading that way.

Ok , collected the pumps from Peter slater and back on engine, were ready with in four days of dropping them off. £150 for the pair with new internals in both. He said the casings often wear but these were ok. Helpful guy and a good price i think. Thanks for the lead Hugh , Richard.
