Hi and WELCOME NinerBikes !
Side note...I'm from the engineering side (industrial controls, automation, process
controls, systems, motor controls, etc) first professional arena, then computing
(Federal division), then embedded controls (same $17B/yr computer corp, but now
corp side...embedded is a controller for any industry), then same corp but promoted
to be a 'suit' (acquisitions)...but 5 concurrent hats with my love...assigned to
CTO's staff, who assigned me to his SunLabs...my skunk works and labs would have
done most of the work NewsW has mentioned. The only thing missing would have
been the scanning microscope.
Niner has brought some new points that leads me to ask
A new one based on NewsW and Niner's comments. On the pump shaft
and the bearing seal...now wonder what they did to keep the shaft
from moving axially from the piston, which begets questions on the
PSI, stroke, etc. If the bearing is it, then more questions on
that bearing and seal for BOTH ends of the shaft...equal and opposite force...
Oh never mind...90* to the axis of the shaft... :)
Sputtering is very good at laying down precise (microns) with locational
attributes...but IIRC, line of sight. If it has to turn a corner, there
are issues. I was at a small division which was a R&D facility for a
huge 54 division conglomerate (worst job I've ever had). We were assigned
to solve just that...tuning some high freq induction supplies for
sputtering HDD platters for a proto-type. As with most ion beams,
they like to shoot straight...
Looking at the various diesel chem mixtures is interesting and that
there are failures all over the place. Interesting to read that they
have ID'd it to regions along with seasonal failures...telling that
H2O and some chemical reaction along/with/by/etc telling.
Since a world wide pump, the lowest the dictating metric(s). Is that
North American?
Sorry, not much time the rest of the week, dealing with ailing parent (Hospice)
PS...a large spread sheet is what suggested previously. I know HOW2, but
don't have that kind of time, for now.

Niner has brought some new points that leads me to ask
- Alu HPFP body !?!...what is the alloy and temper?
- What is the thinnest section of the cylinder wall?
- What is the RPM of the pump shaft
- What drives the pump shaft...cog belt, chain, gears?
- What is the dynamic PSI on the alu cylinder wall?
- Is there caster for the cam follower rollers?
- Cam follower roller...needle or ball?
- Anyone know the piston stroke, dia, etc?
RE-BUILT
amazing that they would and then ask what do they do with the bore and piston...heavens...hope they don't keep them, or is the DLC so good that there is no wear...rhetorical, as the failures tells me it should be re-bored/coated- Alu cylinder and what is the piston material?
- Then does the piston have a ring or whatever to seal?
- That then begges to ask what is the thermal co-efficient of expansion of those two?
- DLC's co-efficient of expansion?
- Thermal expansion fractures of the DLC and/or alu & steel?
