Briarston Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hello anyone Started to fit an oil pump overhaul kit supplied by Turner Engineering. I find that the new pressure relief plunger has a square end, while the old one has a slight chamfer. Also, the new spring supplied is roughly a quarter of an inch shorter than the old one, such that the plug can be screwed in almost to the sealing washer before any tension can be felt. I wouldn't have thought that Turners would have supplied wrong parts, but don't want to put everything back together and find no oil pressure. Any advice from anyone who has done this job would be very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 see page 181 shows a flat ended plunger & ball bearing. these are the same parts as the older TD engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western, thanks for the response. No ball fitted as existing, nor new one supplied. Have tried to look at the reference you give (p.181) but get the message "file damaged and can't be repaired". Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyway just checked my paper parts bok, it shows a ball bearing but doesn't list it, I know the 2.5n/a & TD engines use the same oil pump, but those parts diagrams don't show a ball bearing between the plunger & pump body, maybe it's a drawing error. strange, I just clicked & it opened straight away, try this link http://www.retroanaconda.com/landrover/parts_books/110/3_engine_200TDI_300TDI_V8_p168-299.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haynes book says something to the effect of "remove ball bearing where appropriate", so perhaps there has been some update or mod. Looks like holding off until Turners re-open and giving them a call.
