NC...you are also a technologist...but think you have a higher level of tolerance
for this kind of stuff...most likely 'cuz I'm older than you with
those obligatory hard knock bumps on my noodle... :B
Anyway...I'm not a diesel guy...sticking with gasoline, but always
interested in anything technical...found it fascinating learning
about this Bosch CP4 pump. It would make a great design class
tutorial on how not to design something of this nature...and...to
take the lumps and kill it...instead of band aiding it
{edit}...
Didn't know what DLC was till Rick's thread showed up here...do know
CVD (Chemical vapor deposition ) and found same thing...just
different gaseous chamber fill for deposition onto the target
Diamond is cool element...best non-stick, slickest element, hardest
element, best thermal conductor...known to mankind.
This material, DLC, was added in one of the revisions as a 'band aid'
trying to solve the poor lube qualities of diesel in such a high
pressure application
