[Vwdiesel] Check valves - long vs short?

[Shawn Wright]

I went to install the injectors in my TD, and discovered my new pump came 
with long check valves, which means the injector lines won't fit. The valves 
are about 15mm longer. Can I swap valves from my old pump, or should I 
try to bend the lines (I'd rather not). 
It appears the valves are shimmed like injectors, and the numbers are 
different between the short & long, so I'd have to swap the works. I'm 
assuming the PO of this pump used it on an older engine, so swapped the 
valves to fit the lines. If I swap the valves, are there any pitfalls to watch for 
aside from losing all the little pieces?
