I’m still waiting & very much looking forward to seeing your work on the mechanical om606 ect to zfhp8 .. still waiting & hoping you will publish some video soon.
From 0:52 until 3:10 I will be honest I didn't hear anything you were saying because I could not take my eyes and attention away from that stunning engine. That is a thing of beauty truly truly stunning oh well I gotta watch it again. Great video
Thanks Luke well explained any improvements on the pump or pressure valve to keep the fuel perfect for the pumpelemts to built up the high pressure? Greetings from Germany
Thanks as always for this knowledge rich videos 💥 All the small details gets captured👌 What is the status of the supercharging? I'm really REALLY curious to learn about it 👨🔧😅
Off Topic sir. I am retired now and interested in learning to service diesel pumps. I am an accomplished Tool and die maker, and can generally service anything i can wrap my brain around. Could you post a link to somewhere legit to start out looking into the trade. A start off point for info ... Thanks in advance and best wishes.
Buy a scrap car with a mechanical diesel pump in it and mess around with it Or youtube videos of people fixing/messing around with them. Area Diesel Service has some quality videos on pump rebuilds.
Honestly, Luke has some great videos on how pumps are built. What he doesn't cover is setting up the centrifugal governor at the back end of the pump. You'll likely want to look into P-pumps as I think there's more information and they are largely similar in operation to these M-pumps. Your biggest barrier to entry is whether you can build a test stand. It's mostly simple stuff. You'll need a way to phase the pump (like a cam degree wheel), a way to set and measure the rotations, a way to measure volume of expelled fuel, and a way to feed it diesel and oil pressure. If you can't find an original diesel pump test bench, being a tool and die maker, you could probably fashion a small lathe to do a similar job... Like, I'd almost recommend it over buying a pump bench because those are very large. Your lathe will require a clutch and / or brake though. Doesn't need to be in great shape, just needs to hold decently true on the headstock and be able to spin up to about 3000rpm (which would be 6000 engine rpm).
Hiya mate. I tested my 605 lift pump similarly to what you have shown in this vid ... however, it seems to be going the other way around ... squirting not upon me compressing the shaft which runs on the pump's cam, but upon me releasing the shaft. It has me dumbstruck! Have you ever encountered such?
Serious question, Mr. Dale.....have you and your wizard cohorts developed a full-on conversion kit for cramming the 606 into a variety of vehicles? Everything, from the engine to the bolts, say for converting a 1982 Chevy Blazer? Everything in a couple of crates, ready to be assembled into the chosen vehicle. Just a random thought from a subscriber and diesel boffin.
@@wayneneher6362 Well, looking at their other prices for products and services i wouldn't expect paying anything less than 5000 gbp for an engine (without shipping etc.)
Another point, if you have fuel starvation and the hand priming pump resists movement and springs back in , you may have bacterial sludge blocking the tank outlet strainer. How do I know this? ......@#%£##!
On my om605 I open lift pump and put inside spring from engine valve (golf mk5 1.9tdi smaler one spring) and pump on first try popu up every returne hose and file up injector hols 😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂
So I have an aftermarket filter after my lift pump. Works ok but lots of pipes everywhere. Would I be Causing any restriction or flow issues if I moved my filter directly after the tank before the lift pump? Thanks.
