Yep, you remember right... there is an oval plate w/o-ring on the back side. They can leak, sometimes for no apparent reason. It basically happens as a result of the pumps internal pressure popping the o-ring.

The pump will have to be removed to get at it though... that's the only crummy part.

If you are going to do this you'll need to find TDC for the engine, then set the timing pin on the pump, lock the pump in place so it can't rotate/move and then pull the pump. You reverse the order on install and you're good to go... . after you prime everything of course.

Bushwakr ,Thanks for the quick responce, I new I'd read that on one of these posts, but its hard to retrive with VE only being 2 letters Ops guess maybe I could have used injector instead. O well thanks for the rescue

A hint for doing 2 letter searches is to, use a * after the 2 letters. The * is considered a wild card by the forum search engine and it will return anything that starts with the letters preceding it.
