Has anyone tried to rebuild the no longer available VCV on top of the injection pump of an 82 300D?



The valve leaks through the valve seat. Also through the opening around the actuating shaft that the spring is attached to inside the valve, although I don't think that's a problem.





The valve proper has a metal base which is crimped over the plastic top where the vacuum line attaches to it. I should be able to cut the crimp off and access the inside of the valve to repair the valve seat. I'm not sure how I'd put it back together, but I think a little silicone sealant should do it since there is a plastic ring that snaps over the valve to hold it in place.





Anyone find a workaround besides converting to a manual transmission?
