Real quick clarification...you can pull the injector pump without pulling the drive gear or the drive gear housing. In fact, it's better if you leave the drive gear housing in place...otherwise, it's too easy to re-install the drive gear off just enough to make it impossible to properly time the pump. Getting the pump out between the drive gear housing and the intake manifold takes some creative maneivering, but it's doable, and much better than the alternative.

Just FYI Also, just finished and sent the E-mail, and realized that I forgot to mention glow plugs...so I'll just post it on here. Ford, in their infinite wisdom installed 6 volt plugs on their engines and applied 12 volts to them. So, if the plugs are on for more than about 8 seconds at a time without an equal-length resting period, they can fail, and can swell up and break the tip off into the prechamber (not good). Some people just bypass the controller and run their glow plugs by a push button in the dash (the controller is trouble-prone, tends to fail to ON and fry the GP's in the process, and is $80 minimum to replace).

Sorry about that...
