Cool thanks! Did you say it's not that hard to replace? I'm assuming the IP comes all the way out. Seems like a good day or two tough job with the engine in the bay. Am I right on that?

In the mean time if I remove the IP, I think I see a diesel leak on the side and/or bottom plate of the Injection Pump. Are gaskets for these available? If so, is it something a normal guy (non IP specialist) can do?
