Wow. Those prices are insane. Guess I will pull mine off and make sure it's free before I move the engine again. Y'all are scaring me!!!

Assuming your pump is ok, you can save yourself some later work. Once the pump is off the engine, don't spin the pump right away. Instead, take a marker and draw a line on the pump body and the gear. Before you re-install the pump, make sure the line is, well, lined up. This way, you won't have to go through re-timing the engine and the pump (assuming you don't spin the engine once the pump is off). I hope that made sense!

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I've been reading as much as I can find about the Bosch pump. Maybe I can get back on this today.

More pieces and parts missing. I can make this rod assembly I think. I have a bunch of small tie-rod ends and threaded rod in stainless, Anyone know the approx. length of this rod including ends? I can guess but knowing is much better, for sure.

The rod is spring loaded. It moves, I bevel. Will check the TM when I get home.

Yes, I see what you mean. I finally found a picture of the rod. It is more than just a rod. I'm starting to think I may just part this machine out. Probably get more than my money back that way. At least break even. Large boat anchor!

If you find out that pump is functional, I'd part it out based on what you paid (starting with that pump!).

Yeah, considering what's already missing & the unknown operational state of what's there it would be expensive & very time consuming to pursue bringing it back to life. You should be able to get your money back & perhaps make some extra $ for your time.
