Check The High-Pressure Fuel Pump Case And Fuel Pump Lifter

Check that the high-pressure fuel pump case and the fuel pump lifter have no deformation, cracks or other damages.

Check the clearance between the fuel pump lifter and high-pressure fuel pump case bore. Check the clearance between fuel pump lifter and high-pressure fuel pump case bore by measuring the outer diameter of fuel pump lifter and the inner diameter of high-pressure fuel pump case bore respectively.

Measure the outer diameter of fuel pump lifter with a micrometer.

NOTE:

Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).
Measure at several points, and take notes of the value of most worn location.

Using a caliper gauge, measure the inner diameter of high-pressure fuel pump case bore.

NOTE:

Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).
Measure at several points, and take notes of the value of most worn location.

Calculate the clearance between the fuel pump lifter and high-pressure fuel pump case bore. If it is not within the standard, replace the fuel pump lifter and high-pressure fuel pump case as a set.
Clearance between fuel pump lifter and high-pressure fuel pump case bore:

Standard

0.055 - 0.108 mm (0.0022 - 0.0043 in)
