m315 fuel injection pump help

wim1970 · 2020-10-30 08:00

today my cat stopped working , there is diesel leaking from the injection fuel pump , when i manually pump with the small fuel pump on the engine. as the leaking is on the side ,between pump and engine. probably i must demount the pump. please advise if i can remove the pump without the danger of changing the injection time ?

    anyone can give m a suggestion how to put the new pump back ? there are 2 positions according the shaft ?

    Wow.!! U must of used some serious pry bars to get that off.. The drive shaft is locked inside the pump housing w a C clip.. Just cut ur losses and get the drive shaft outta the engine and take or send the whole mess to a fuel shop, where they have all the specialized tooling & knowledge to take it apart & reassemble it properly.. DO NOT try to stick the shaft in & start it.. u can SEE the spacers & clips thru the hole.!! IF U DO, ur looking at a 1900.00+ bill..

    here is the next part , i hope someone else in the future can use this. and dont make same mistakes .... according manual similar i should remove the 4 bolts . also the timing must be on the bottom for stanadyne pumps. in the manual is written remove fan and front house . only removed partly the metal protection cover of the fan and the water pump . was easy to do.

  15. #15thepumpguysc2020-11-02 07:02

    Screw the internet.. what’s the # off YOUR PUMP.. just trying to help u.

  16. #16wim19702020-11-02 07:08

    pump is at the repair shop now they just called and said impossible to repair

  17. #17wim19702020-11-02 07:09

    found this in the usa, is it a reasonable price ?

  19. #19thepumpguysc2020-11-02 10:08

    That 900.00 is a good price & if yours is unrepairable, which by the way is bs.. it’s an excellent price.. U have to find out if they want your core.. if so, you might get hit w another 900.00 bill.?? cuz yours in “unrepairable”..(not a good core)

  20. #20thepumpguysc2020-11-02 10:12

    U have to find out WHY it’s no good.?? Is the H&R seized.? Is the housing cracked.? It might b expensive to build & not cost effective.. but there’s no such thing as “un-repairable”..

  21. #21wim19702020-11-03 02:18

    what is exactly the core ,the main shaft or the rotating parts ? the shaft is damaged at the end , although with a brush could be polished , and if i look inside i see all kind of broken little parts. eg from the front of the pump.

  22. #22thepumpguysc2020-11-03 06:31

    The core is YOUR WHOLE PUMP.. They might want your pump, to see if they can build it & make more money.. after they sell u their pump.

    [QUOTE = "thepumpguysc, post: 924832, üye: 15159"] U NEDEN iyi olmadığını öğrenmelisin. ?? H&R ele geçirildi mi? Muhafaza çatlamış mı? Oluşturmak pahalı olabilir ve uygun maliyetli olmayabilir .. ancak "onarılamaz" diye bir şey yoktur .. [/ QUOTE] Absolutely I agree. With the right service , everything can be repaired.

  24. #24wim19702020-11-05 02:27

    collected the pump , its damaged ,so now buy new pump or try to return excavator ,what to do ? are the cat m315 normal reliable ? or a future nightmare ?

  25. #25wim19702020-11-05 03:46

    in the manual we can loosen this screw , i hope we can loosen this screw lift the beam . close the screw load on a trailer .then lower the boom same procedure .it seems we have 2 cylinders so we must do simultaneously the both valves at same time ? any advise ?

  26. #26wim19702020-11-05 06:31
