High-Pressure Fuel Pump: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Only rotate the crankshaft Clockwise (CW) or damage to the engine may occur.

NOTE: The drive lobe for the high-pressure fuel pump must be at BDC (bottom dead center) for the high-pressure fuel pump installation.

With the help of an assistant, using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft until the high-pressure fuel pump drive lobe is at BDC.

NOTE: In stage 6, if the torque required to tighten any flare nut on the new high-pressure fuel tube reaches or exceeds 37 lb.ft (50 Nm), then that high pressure fuel tube must be discarded and replaced with another new high-pressure fuel tube.

NOTE: Calculate the correct torque wrench setting for the following torque using the Torque Wrench Adapter Formulas in the chart below.
