so my HPOP was leaking and i had a place look at it and they said they found one of the lines wasnt tight and they fixed it $40 no prob. 6mos later it has been leaking again. called a diesel specialty shop and they said if it leaks anywhere then i need a new one because if the put new o-rings they cant prime it with oil again and it would never start again. so how does a new one get primed with oil when they put it on???? doesnt sound right to me. please chime in thanks J

Unless its the pump itself leaking You can replace the gasket on the front no problem. Or it could be you need new lines ?

That is not true. You can replace every seal, even the one that says "Do Not Remove". You can get every seal here. High Pressure Oil Pump Repair Parts

Buddy of mine replace the seal that you're not suppose to and hasn't had any issues.

I don't doubt that. I just don't want to get stranded on the side of the road out of province with a load of livestock or horses. I guess each there own

i thought something was wierd with that. the 1st mech said it was a loose line so i didnt see why i would need a whole new pump. im having a diffrent guy look at it next week. ill let u know what he says lol. J

I would check out dieselorings.com

Just about every hpop oring and gasket you would need plus links to directions and writeups.

I pulled mine about a year ago and replaced all orings due to leaks and never had a problem. Almost all of it can be done yourself with basic mechanical knowledge.

I did mine a month ago and replaced the non-serviceable plug and all is good!

j350...i'd run from that mechanic. Wether you replace the hpop, lines or fittings, the system will purge itself, once fired up....
