I would like to buy the timing pin to lock the pump during install but it appears to be NLA. Anyone know of a replacement or have one laying around? P/N I have is 900 589 86 73 00

The fuel feed hole on the side of the Elements are small enough that any sort of stuff that restricts the holes has the potential to not allow enough time for the Element to fill.
This is only something you would notice over time but if the Plungers and Barrels were scored Diesel Fuel would pass by them and mix with engine oil. But, a leaking fuel supply/lift pump can do the same so smelling fuel in your engine oil or having your oil level rise is not so definitive as to the cause.
