Loosen both the Fue Inlet and Oulet Hoses that go to the Upper Fuel Injectin Pump housing and remove the Hollow Bolts and save the washers.

If you have filtered compressed air you can blow it out from front and excess fuel should come out of the Rear of the Fuel Injection Pump.

If the Engine is still in the Car jack up the Car so that the Front of the Fuel Injection Pump is Higher than the Rear. The Fuel should run backwards.

Just befor you apply the JB Weld Epoxy spray out area you want to apply the JB Weld with Brake Clean. As long as the Plug area is comepletely dry and does not have a lot of loose stuff for the Epoxy to stick too I believe the JB Weld is going to work.



It is not common for the Fuel Injection Pump Core Plugs to leak. But, rust does not care a bought that.

I live in a Harbor area and there are thousands of Sail Boat in a few square miles of my House and lots of weekend of monthly Sailors. Who do not use the Boats very often.

A Customer brought in an inline Fuel Injection Pump that had a small Salt Water Pump mounted on the tail end of the Fuel Injection Pump Camshaft (to supply cooling for Salt Water to the Exhaust Manifold).
The Salt Water Pump was mounted below the water line so it always had some water pressure.
The Saltwater Pumps Seal seeped allowing Salt water to get on the last Fuel Injection Pump Camshaft Seal. The Saltwater ate through the Fuel Injection Pump seal and gradually flooded the Fuel Injection Pump with Water causing severe 1/4" deep pits on the Fuel Injection Pump Camshaft.

The importance of the above is that normal or not the situation is there.

JB Weld Ad time:
The machine is a huge sort of Fork Lift that lifts up those 40 foot Steel shipping Containers.
The problem is at the top Rear of the Block (not the Head the Block) there is a 3 inch Coolant Core/Freeze Plugs that is covered 2/3rds over by the Bell housing of the Transmission/Transfer Case.

Not much room to work in but I tried Grinding a U in the Bell Housing. May be if I had 2 weeks x8 hours I could have done that and maybe after doing that the Plug could have been Changed. The Bell Housing was metal was extremely hard.

I cleaned everything out of the Plug area and filled it with regular 5 minute Epoxy. That repair lasted about 1-1/2 of a day (it could not take the Heat).

Cleaned it out and started over using JB Weld. And, that fixed it.
When I left that job several years later it was still fixed.
