need sorce of seals

#1

Post by shaun »

i'm back...
ive got some time on my hands so today i degreased down my engine, a 1987 LD-20II non-turbo, i have found that since the silly govt down here changed the fuel to low sulphur diesel my injector seals are leaking.

now the full story is today i degreased down the engine, after a few minutes of idling i couldn't see any leaks.
so with the bonnet/seat up (vanette) i drove down the road. i discovered that the injectors appear to be leaking from above the "ring" where the injector return line is connected.
also, on the injector pump, the pressure head delivery valves and also the pressure head itself is also leaking...and quite profusely.
i also seem to be down on power a little (it never had any lol) and when i go up hills i now have to drop back to 4th and it smokes a medium amount, if i plant it, it will smoke a LOT!

my local auto parts store cannot get ANY kind of seals in for me.
can someone here please give me a place i can buy the seals i need?
if it's online i dont care!! i just need these seals!

when i get hold of them i will remove the seat and replace all "high pressure" injector seals.

hope you can help me!!

dug around this forum and found a link to one supplier who supplies seals for the bosch VE IP :D
also removed the fecked clutch fan (the bearing had NO balls LOL) and now it's SOOOOOO quiet!!
you see before the temp needle never got off the stop, i assumed it was buggered....take off the fan and went up the local big hill...(did it easy compared with before) and the needle started to rise like it should do....didnt get to mid range but it did move. for to about 1/4th before i turned on the heater full blast and idled the engine to cool it down a bit.
