[Vwdiesel] Injection pump VE ---( nifty tricks )

[H.Hagar]

We now know how to test internal pressure ,  but what about output
pressure ???.

A friend of mine with a Volvo penta boat asked me if there was a way of testing.

So I started to analyze the situation ---here is what I came up with.

Mark Shepherd mentioned some maximum pressures long time ago  --but
for a test -- how far to go ???  10 000 psi ?  so not to bust the pump I decided
to be chickenshit  --- and use  2500 psi as a test.

I have not done it so far --so if you volks have nifty ways lets hear.

I am going to shim an old injector to   2500  and see if it works at crankspeed.
Outside engine of course.   If that works I am going to tell him that
IMHO IMHO his pump is ok.

And by the way Jeff Rakus   that is a good pump      107AG   I have all the numbers here
somewhere but I know Loren has them handy.     107A is fot a 1.5L NA  and 
107AG is for the 1.6L NA  .
Bosch had a number that I used for tech support --and they faxed me information.

Hagar.
