How is that lob lubed? Assume fuel and then where does it come from and
it should have a return or relief back into the fuel system somewhere
Asking because the cam shaft is also lubed some how. Then ask what kind
of bearing is used? Is that lube under the same PSI as the incoming
fuel to the piston/chamber?
Am getting at whether there is a potential source of contamination from
that bearing and it's seal?
Rickatic need to post pics of his disassembled pump.
I think the whole thing is fuel lubed, not motor oil, and fuel is bled back to the fuel tank via a relief valve and also used as coolant.
Rick -- show us the bearing ad seal material.. that is gonna be interesting.. real high tech.
