Yeah, me too! Funny, going into this I was sure changing out the o-rings and copper crush washers on the IP would be the big job and resealing the feed pump would be no big deal - complete opposite! The delivery valves are really no big deal, this on the other hand . . .
I think the take away here is DO NOT bother with these valves unless you have reason to believe they are bad for some reason. Having never done this, I wasn't sure if there was some type of seal internal to the valves that could cause a problem - not so. So to anyone who ever takes this style feed pump apart, just inspect the valves, if the little spring is still holding the valve closed, you probably good and should just leave them alone. I really don't think I am going to mess with the other one, although I am curiuos aobut how it fits into its housing . . .
I think I will probably go the route of grinding down the lip and then using JB weld to secure in place.
Once I get it all done, I'l try to throw together a more complete DIY on this.
Thanks again!
