Rebuilding a B.M.C. Injector Pump.

[Southern Star]

I have a slight leak from my injector pump. At the moment it only seems to happen when the engine is first started but I don't think it should be happening at all and so I'm wondering if I should recondition it at some point in the future.

 

It seems that seal kits are readily available, for example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMC-DIESEL-ENGINE-1-5L-1-8L-CAV-INJECTION-PUMP-SEAL-KIT-GENUINE-DELPHI-/271386057118?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f2fde999e

 

Has anybody re-sealed an injector pump? If so, is there any advice they would care to offer about it?

Best of luck mate, let us know how you get on

That kit is a bit odd - it has a rectangular joint in it. I can't think of a rectangular joint on a 1.5 pump

Where is it leaking from? I have replaced the seals on mine when it leaked from the throttle/stop part at the top of the pump. This was a reasonably simple job replacing two O rings There was a thread on here with pictures explaning this particular procedure. I don't think you would have the neccessary equipment to replace all the seals in the pump and it would be better to let a diesel specialist sort that out for you. If I can find the pictures I'll post them up. Tony Brooks has posted in a couple of threads with warnings about replacing the throttle and stop O rings which are relevant so it might be prudent to search for those posts.
