all right, it is no longer leaking, but it is also no longer running. I wasted hours today on this as a combination of not knowing anything about deuces and obviously previously substandard work on this truck. Anyway, here is my status and problems.
After installing the new o-rings, the truck would not start at all. I was unsure if I did reassemble correctly with the red tooth at the right position and thought I might have moved it by one tooth. So I removed everything again and reinstalled the head with the red tooth moved by one tooth to the right. Again nothing. So I removed all the injection lines again and cranked. No fuel at all. Removed the head again for the third time and looked into the pump. The plunger button, normally attached to the head, was down there together with a partially broken clamp, the one which normally holds the plunger button to the plunger. I also found a piece of shiny broken thin metal, I have no idea where that is coming from.
Apart from the obvious need for this metal clamp, I have now totally ****ed-up the timing.
There are obviously three timing indicators, three marks on the pulley in front of the engine, the mark under that timing cover on the IP and this red tooth on the head. How do I need to align all this to get the right timing?
Last question, the shut off block (the one sliding up and down the plunger and move by the fuel control unit) has a dimple on one side, which way does it go? I read Kenny's post on this (rebuilding HH) and the problem is mentioned there but not the solution.
