no I didn't crank the injectors. I didn't think you had to on these engines... guess thats why it didn't fire. Thanks for the info Ken, I'll try that next time after I get this fuel leak fixed...

I was just reading your posts about this on someone elses thread. Any particular way to tell if it is this switch that is leaking? Looking at it with the filter on, when its leaking it seems to be coming from somewhere in the lower 1/3 of the filter, as i can see some wet on the side, but...

Finally got everything buttoned back up... again... I got fuel to the filter, but now when you stop cranking the engine, the fuel filter housing starts leaking... A steady quick drip until the pressure leaks off. I pulled the new filter and fuel went everywhere as it was under pressure... I...

I tried to look up the napa part number for the rear main seal, which is listed here on SS as being: FPGBS40529. The closest napa to me is about 60 miles or so. So I tried to cross it at o'reilly, but nothing comes up. I did find this one on Amazon, which appears to be the right one, fel-pro...

I'd like to tap your knowledge/experience and get your guys opinion... again :mrgreen: The oil pan did not have a gasket, just rtv on it. It had several very small leaks, but I wasn't worried about it before, as the valve cover leaked much more. Anyway, already cleaned the pan and block of...

Sorry, didn't see this until just now. I sincerely Appreciate the offer Cucvrus, I really do. But... german m1008 said he had the same issue. The length of the rod is dead on. its just the width. And no matter what part supplier you look up, they all show the same .499" width size for...

The pics are always appreciated! May help someone else too. I was going to change the main seal, and even thought about the oil pump... but I don't have them on hand, and the local autoparts store said it would be wednesday before they could get them, due to their "labor day weekend". I don't...

Now the new fuel rod doesn't want to fit... Just as SS member german m1008 said on my original Parts Wanted ad the other day, that the civy part might be just a little too "wide", and may have to be sanded down. I tried to put the new one in, without grease first, then with grease, just to...

Yep, I did need a smaller magnet Cucvrus. As my "pen" magnet was just too big. I knew I used to have some rare earth magnets (neodymium magnets) from some projects back some time ago, but couldn't remember any that would be small enough. But I was able to find one about the size of a small...

Ok, heres this mornings update: With the engine in the truck, there is literally no way I can see into the port. Not from the top, nor from the bottom (Just another reason that if I had to do it over again, I would have pulled this engine... as I probably wouldn't have this problem in the first...

I'm not sure I follow?? The pushrod just pushes on the fuel pump arm, right?

Me Too!! [thumbzup]

Ok.... update and a new mystery.... With another brothers help, we got it all taken apart and everything, and was finally able to get the pan pulled tonight. One thing, I don't see any cracks in the webbing, the oil pump screen is clean, and everything looks ok. But the mystery is... the...

LoL I thought about sticking the magnet to the pan already... it is tempting, be a lot easier than pulling the pan. I also tried to see if the piece that did come out would fit through the oil pan drain hole.... unfortunately it won't, its just a bit to big. So no chance on getting the piece...

I am assuming it was the pump end of the shaft. I am also assuming it must have broke the first time I cranked the engine over to try to prime the fuel system about a week ago. After which I stopped, due to seeing the coolant leak and oil leak, which I had to then pull the radiator and have it...

Yeah, its broke. One end is rough, other end is machined. Here is a couple pics of the 3.5" piece that fell out when I removed the fuel pump mounting plate: So.... where would the other 1.75" piece have went... would it have dropped into the oil pan? What would you guys recommend...

Can anyone tell me if the fuel pump pushrod for the civy k30 truck would still be correct? Such as the one here on summit: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sgt-sp2712pr/all or this one at oreily : https://goo.gl/xsHKxP

well... found the problem... at least the latest problem as they never seem to end... The reason the fuel pump wasn't pumping is that I did screw up the fuel pump install somehow, and apparently when I cranked the engine over the first time a week ago it broke the end (or more) off the push...

How many times cranking the engine should it take before I get fuel out the vent on the fuel filter? If I'm not getting fuel out the filter vent, then I guess that must mean I screwed up on installing the lift pump....

Yeah, didn't mean like that. I already filled it back up. Trying to prime the fuel system... I'm forgetting something though, going to have to go back through the TM. In any case, I finally found that my oil leaking (pouring) out of the plug above the oil cooling lines (which are above the oil...
