High-Pressure Fuel Pump: Installation
-
NOTE: The cam lobe for the high-pressure fuel pump must be at BDC for the high-pressure fuel pump installation.
Remove the high-pressure fuel pump roller tappet.
- Visual check. Inspect the high-pressure fuel pump tappet for flat spots or scoring, especially in the indicated areas. If any damage is found, inspect the high-pressure fuel pump and the high-pressure fuel pump tappet drive lobe. Install new components as necessary.
-
NOTE: Only rotate the crankshaft Clockwise (CW) or damage to the engine may occur.
Using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft Clockwise (CW) until the high-pressure fuel pump cam lobe is at BDC.
-
NOTE: Apply clean motor oil to the high-pressure fuel pump roller tappet and to the high-pressure fuel pump cover bore.
Install the high-pressure fuel pump roller tappet.
Material
: Motorcraft® SAE 5W-20 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil / XO-5W20-QSP (WSS-M2C945-A)
-
NOTE: Apply clean motor oil to the high-pressure fuel pump O-ring seal.
Install a new high-pressure fuel pump O-ring seal onto the high-pressure fuel pump.
