ok so ive got my hpop out due to an oil leak. im thinking about just replacing the hpop rather then rebuilding it. is there an aftermarket one i should be looking at? also im thinking about replacing my ebps tube and senser they are in rough shape. what else should i be looking for while i have this ripped apart? truck is a 2000 f-250 7.3l psd. thanks

 

No reason to replace it if its just a leak... The parts I linked earlier will fix it for less then $75 bucks, assuming thats where the leak is coming from.

 

i honestly cant tell exactly where the leak is i think your right but i just wanna put it back together knowing i have another 200,000 worry free hpop miles. anything else i should replace while i have it opened up? i know about the ebps tube and sensor and am replacing them. what else could be an issue i havent looked into yet?

 

You could go down to ford and get a reman pump and have it last 300 miles... or you could put your stocker back in and it will last another 300k. You dont know. I would fix the leak, change the tube if its broke or plugged and move on.

 

how do i know the shaft is properly seated in the gear?

 

TQ it to spec...

will the end of the shaft sit flush with the end of th gear or will the gear have a little extra lip as to speak over it. and those directions were awsome they helped me out alot i saw them in your other post.

 

I dont know, once the bolt is on and Tq'ed to spec I cant recall...

 

I like to deep clean the intake manifold when I do hpops or anything requiring me to take the intake off. If you have a lot of soot in there from your tune or whatever, it'll open it up and let your truck breathe better!

 

i havent put the bolt in yet because i just am not sure the gear is seated properly
