1.6 TD no-run, I need a few minds on this one..

I swapped on another head and distributor because it had good seals in it (head o-ring, solenoid, timing plug, and delivery valve coppers).....

I know that, and no I didn't lol.

At least I only have to pull the pump and swap heads.. phew. 15 minute job start to finish haha

That is just my signature thing, anytime I tell somebody we're gonna do something I give the ma time frame and it takes 4.5-6 times as long lol. Soo 1.375 hours seems legit.

Just about right, 1.5 hrs.  I can't seem to get it all set up, pull the pump and get it on the bench in less than a half an hour.  But with all the extra hose and hoops I have to get through I wonder if that isn't considered a good time.

15 min.  I can get the hood up and the tools out and then I need a 5 min coffee break.

Holy shii... I just had an epiphany. When I had it apart I swapped on another head and distributor because it had good seals in it (head o-ring, solenoid, timing plug, and delivery valve coppers)..... however I am pretty  sure that was on a pump that supposedly would "not pump fuel".. except when the guy had it, he claimed no fuel to the injectors. I have fuel to the injectors in the typical amount to be seen, so it is in fact pumping. Maybe this dizzy head is snarfed?
...................

You swapped a a head without the plunger? That's a no no from what I've read. Plunger and head must be a matched set.

head and distributor would lead me to believe he replaced it as a set..

the rotor or bore may be worn too much, meaning it will NEVER produce break pressures..

[ORCoaster]

Interchanging heads and plungers is a big no no as I know it because they are lapped together to get that micro fine tolerances needed to make the pressure desired.  I really can't see the differences in the pictures and I get the Forbidden flash at me when I try to make them big.  So we have to watch the type of plunger as well as the machining of them do we?  OK, into the brain goes that fact.  thanks for the share.

I was done a few hours back, but I done gone ran outta propane so I was out there in the elements! I have been resting with beer since, lol. It was not a reverse plunger setup, but changing out the head and plunger did solve my problem.. I'm gonna assume that this head is trash as it has not worked twice now in two different bodies.
