I have a 580 super m squirting fuel from the breather hole above the fuel injections lines any idea what could cause this thanks
Welcome to HEF, DS1973 ! Breather hole ??? Can you explain that a little better ? I think you need to have three posts on HEF before you can post a picture. Photos certainly make helping us a lot easier.
I assume it is an overflow or a breather hole on the fuel injection right under what looks like a solenoid valve or a shut off valve on top of the fuel injection pump I cannot find a description of in my parts manual thank you for your reply
THAT is indeed a "vent".. A rubber diaphragm is captured right above it in the boost chamber & gets pushed down.. & the motion needs to be vented.. What is leaking is a small, & I mean SMALL oring, that seals on a rod.. Sorry but its not a diy project & unless u find a VERY EXPERIENCED pump guy to remove JUST the top cover, the pump HAS TO come off. Pump removal isn't that hard if u have the engine turning tool.. CLEAN the pump area before starting the project..{Brake-Kleen} I can take care of the leak once u get it off.. The drive shaft might NOT BE keyed.. so the timing procedure is critical on that engine.. & the pump & engine need to be timed before pump removal.. Good luck.
This has been the best form I have ever joined, thank you Im sure I can remove the top cover with no damage to the pump, I have experience drilling covers with bolts, is there a professional repair that needs done, or just replacing the oring, I'm sorry for all the questions but where I live if I want something fixed I gotta do it my self,
UNLESS your getting a professional inj. pump guy to do it, don't try it.. Take the whole pump off.. The repair needs to done professionally.. it is NOT a DIY job..
OK will do gotta read up on how to do the timing thank's again
IF u have a book, that's great.. if not, post back & we can walk u thru it.. Do u have the engine turning tool.?? it makes the whole job WAY MORE fun..
I have the book but not engine tool
When I bought mine, it was about 40.00 & one, if not the best tool I ever bought..
The way I like to do it is>> use a small screwdriver to pull the retaining clip off the timing pin.. Pull the pin out.. take off the oring & lube the pin.. THEN rotate the engine.. The oring will keep the pin from falling easily into the hole in the cam gear.. & sometimes I wont use the pin at all.. I'll stick my little finger in the timing hole & FEEL for the hole in the cam gear..while I rotate the engine..
Many of those Iveco engines don't actually supply the timing pin..... only the hole in which to insert it. Nice marketing ploy
OK thanks guys, weather permits and a little luck I'll remove the pump next weekend
BTW> the engine timing pin/hole is directly UNDER the inj. pump.. facing the timing cover..
Of course these Iveco pumps are mounted on the rear of the engine and a pain to get off at times. Case had an issue with the early units being not timed correctly out of the factory and dealers had to retime engines using a fixture supplied by Case. But as pumpguy said remove the timing pin cover and find the hole in cam gear before removing the pump.
OK it rained all weekend but I did read up and have more questions where can I get the gear puller mentioned in the manual or can I use one similar all I have are bearing and hub pullers
Found this on ebay
Holy ****.. snatch that up.. I paid 41.00 for my last one.. & 85.00 from snap on for my 1st one.. They're good for all sorts of things.. I guess that's why mine keep walking off.??
tools tend to grow legs, thanks hopefully I'll get to it this weekend
Especially the pump guys tools.!!! I have a tendency to get off the job site quickly when I'm done.. I'm not the "chatty" kinda mechanic.. IF I know I have to come back to the site, I have a bad habit of leaving things behind.. "Aww, I'll get that when I bring the pump back".. 99x outta 100 its not there when I get back.!! Except this 1 job.. it was 2 years till the guy wanted to get his tractor going again.. & my magnetic tray w/ all the nuts, bolts & washers was still stuck to the engine.!!! THAT made for a nice easy install.. & I got my tray back.. but my pump puller was "missing".. lol
Not a good weekend for tear down rain and lighting hopefully soon
