This is in-out, not up and down slack. It is tight side-side/ up and down.

Mine's up and down.

Pullit, give me a ring before you come over to be sure I'm here.
We're headed to give the county some plate fees, but should be back before 5 or so.
Still haven't yanked the lines, been one of those days where everything is happening but the things that NEED to.

kta made a good point on the inj. pump keyway. i broke a cam in my d350 a couple months ago. i put a new cam in drove it for a couple weeks and broke a inj pump gear. i think what happen was when i put a new keyway in it slid to far back and didnt let the inj pump gear seat corectly. it had a small wobble to it and after some time of driving it broke the cam right behind the first cam bearing. followed by the injection pump gear.

Well, when the gears have funny little tracks in them that look kinda' like the ball bearings that fell out of the V/P when I removed it, it kinda' falls into place.
Had I paid a bit closer attention, it would have been starkly evident what had happened.

Pretty gnarly what can happen when you put the wrong things in tight places.

Kind of like this pic. The nut came loose on the VE drive gear. They kept driving it till the drive gear exploded.
