Exploring the great unknown,a moron and the ve

Postby ellis93 » Tue Jan 06, 2015 10:27 am

Pulled down a core pump that wasn't even good enough to be called a core. This pump is so screwed up the case isn't even looking real good.
Image
Ouch
Image
Wow damn
Image
Image
Notice the indenting above and below?
Image
Couldn't bare the strain here either.
Image
How the above breaks and not this rubber I'll never know (black pieces) edit....those things just drive the gov gear,nothing more.
Image
And then the little carrier that holds up the rollers and their axles...
Image
Could the timing piston and bore were stuck/seized together. I kinda think this could have been some reason for the failure. Maybe keeping the pump advanced all the time is not a good thing
Image
I still need to make a socket to get at the inside of the head and rotor.

I will update this tread as I go. I have two more pumps to pull down and need to finish disassembling this one. I haven't even seen the vane pump yet.

Vane pump disassembled.
Image

Looks like there's some scoring in that aluminum
Image
And I guess this is the plate that's turned backwards and give a no start condition?
Image
Not a lot of tools needed for this either

I hope you boys appreciate all these pics.....taking and posting them is becoming a real pain in the azz.

Tore into the non intercooled pump last night and seen what the insides look like befor they get munched.
First thing I did was remove the pump top and disassemble it. That's all pretty much straight forward. Only voodoo you need to remember is to mark the position of the throttle lever to the shaft.
Image
Notice the lines on the lever and the line in the shaft.
With disassembling the top the only thing I seen that might mess with someone is removing the afc lever and its shaft. There are two balls,one on each side of the shaft bore that you'll need to remove. You'll accomplish this by picking a side and drive the ball toward the inside of the pump. This will push out the ball on the other side. Once the other ball is out,simply reverse the process only instead of driving the ball you'll now be on the afc shaft. You'll need a small pin punch to do this.
Apparently most use epoxy to seal the balls back up when reassembled.
Veiw of the guts with top removed.
Image
That's the govenor and lever assembly. It's removed by loosening the govenor shaft nut and spinning out the shaft. Careful how you do it or the govenor weights will fall out of it carriage.
Image
Also there are some shims or washers in between the pump body and gov gear face. Pic of it and the pump shaft.
Image
I don't really have a good pic of the removal of the H&R as an assembly as it was a two handed operation,it's all loose and a real bitch to keep together. I did however take a pic of the two springs that push against the gov lever and the head.
Image
With the H&R removed you can see the alignment/timing pin,whatever it is. That thing needs to be aligned with the keyway in the pump shaft...so I'm told/have read.
Image
It in my hand.
Image
With that piece removed (cam plate) you get to see the rollers and whatnot
Image
Now I remove the rollers
Image
Take note of the position of the beveled washer,it sits toward the case.
Now the next thing to remove it this retainer
Image
It covers this
Image
And keeps this pin in. It connects the ring that the rollers set in (not familiar with "the" tech terms yet) with the timing piston,which manipulate timing.
Image
When that's out far enough,grab it with your pliers and lift the ring out
Image
Now to push the timing piston out of its bore
Image
Careful,this little feller will fall out of the piston
Image
After all of that is gone,lift up the pumps input
Image
And now the plate and two screws that is over the vane pump. It's striaght forward,no voodoo
This is what I uncovered. Yuck
Image
Image
Image
I ain't playin with that....cleanliness is next to godliness

Ok so now we're going back together
First thing for me is loctite on the front seal,better safe than sorry.
Image
And installed with the excess wiped off. Notice the little mark on the seal land..? That's where the keyway in the pump shaft lines up,and magically it's on número uno.....I never new that until now. :lol:
Image
After that I have bolted the pump case in my fwd trans fixture (yes homemade) and get the guts of the vain pump greased and ready to assemble,notice the divot in the pump paddle,it goes toward the center of the rotor.
Image
I found out the hard way that ic and non ic pumps ( between the two I have) are different thicknesses....I'm actually using the vain pump from another pump in this one because the original was rusted in spots,well I tryed to use the paddles from the non ic pump in the ic pump outer ring and rotor. It locked up. Don't do that.
Image
Once you get the vain pump situated it's time for the input shaft,shaft washer,and key. That keyway can be a pita to make stay....even greased. Take a center punch and put a pucker in the side of it to make it stay put.
Image
In the hole,greased
Image
Next up the roller ring,big pin and small pin with keeper. You also need to have the timing piston in place.
Image
Now for the rollers ,coupler and cam plate.
Image
Notice the tab,dowel sticking up....line it up with the keyway in the pump shaft.
Image
That tab indexes the rotor shaft,get it wrong and it's out of time. There's is some sort of thrust washer in between as well. I have it greased into the rotor shaft.
Image
Now is the time to install the gov lever assembly and slide on the collar that's on the rotor shaft. Placing the pin on the lever inside the collars hole for it.
Image
Now to the gov shaft and jam nut. I just put it back like I found it on disassembly. I don't have a clue why or how to adjust it or if you even need to worry over it.
Image
No pic of the whole thing assembled,guess I didn't take it.
Now for the part I was dreading,assembling the head and feeding it down onto the pump. Turns out the grease helps a whole lot. You'll need to grease the hell out of each and ever piece to make them stay. I got it on the third try.
Image
Now as I pushed down on the head I was sure to keep tabs on where those big springs were and how close those two pins (inside the big springs) where in relation to those two ears on the rotor shaft. I started two head bolts and only used my fingers to tighten them....ever so slowly.
Image
The pins and springs I'm watching
Image
And one of the pins poking thru as I turn the input some.
Image
Spare parts just so we're on the same page here. Pin springs...holes to watch.
Image
Once those pins are thru the holes,bolt that head down your in the clear.

On to the pump top.
Install the metal sleeve for the afc guide pin down this hole,with the oring greased in it.
Image
Image

Image
Then the retainer
Image
Pic of it with the guide pin in and greased
Image
I moved it back and forth several times to make sure there's no binding,you want no drag. If there's any drag it will not let the pump supply fuel evenly and make the guide pin loose contact with the fuel pin. It would make for erratic fueling
Image
There's a bunch of junk you have to do before you get to installing the pump top on the pump. It's all striaght forward and without any voodoo anyone needs to know....as long as you install the manual kill shaft/lever before you install the afc lever your in the clear.
One thing that I did was to follow some advice our very own resident senior citizen PToombs gave me and that was to thread the afc lever shaft holes,so I could use a screw to seal the holes instead of the balls. It sounds like a good idea and may fend off future leaks.
This is what I did,threaded the hole and used a set screw to seal it with loctite.
Image
Image
You can see how I had the loctite mash out and surrounded the set screw
Image
That's also how I install the gov spring and tophat. It's kind of a pita to do it like this but I can see everything that's going on. You can just hang the spring on the gov lever assembly thru the tophat and hang the other end thru the throttle lever. Then just slide the throttle lever shaft up inside the pump top when your ready.
Pics of me doing it my way
Image
Image
Image
I apologize for the pics. My brother look them for me.
Anyhow hope this helps folks take the plung off into fixing one.

:shock: Damn Ellis, what engine did that first pump come from? I have zero knowledge of these pumps, but kinda looks like it ate itself, or something went threw it, maybe?

It was a core I bought off of book of faces,one of those groups. The rotor seized up,I had to beat the broken shaft out of the head. It's toast from one end to the other.

No need for a special socket, you can use a small pipe wrench or something similar with some sort of soft metal (aluminum or brass) between the jaws, works great.

Yep, that's what I expect the 14 to look like. That's what happens when the rotor seizes.

Baffles me that the plastic/rubber grommets didn't bust apart and keep the shafts ears from breaking. That pump had to be singing when it seized.

What caused the rotor to seize? Abuse, high miles, neglect?

Could be almost anything. From the main shaft, it looks to me like that pump had a lot of miles.

Hot rod mentality,maxed out and probably had the schit ran out of it. It had a DennyT afc delete,least that's what I was told by the original owner. It was abused.

First post will be edited shortly.

Well, it was a good pump to tear apart and learn on!

That's why I bought it Pete. If it looked overwhelming,I wouldn't be out much and I could throw it away.

I'll look at it now as some spare parts. The levers,pins,bolts,pump top are all worth something to somebody,I ain't out much.
