A little while back i found some oil under the car and tracked it back to the
fuel pump and this small brass cap had fallen out.

Thinking it was just a faulty pump I bought a new one for about 100 dollars and just replaced it.

The new one has done the same thing within about a year.
Has anyone else had this problem??

The engine like is a bit of a shaker at idle because of the cam.
I am not sure if it is this doing it or they are just cheap shitty pumps.

either way i will try and repair this some how.
I am not sure if the loctite they are using is strong enough or
maybe not oil resistant.

I think this will do the job.
8mm bottoming tap in each side to get about 4 threads.
Then loctite in each side an 8mm grub screw.

holds the pin in place as well. Stops it from rotating and walking sideways.
