Why Overhaul the Lift Pump?

The lift pump plays a crucial role in delivering fuel from the tank to the engine. Over time, this component may experience wear and tear, resulting in decreased fuel delivery and potential engine performance issues. By overhauling the lift pump, you can restore its functionality and prevent any unwanted disruptions in your engine's fuel supply.

Step-by-Step Overhaul Guide

Step 1: Gather the Necessary Tools

Before diving into the lift pump overhaul process, it's important to ensure you have all the required tools handy. Some of the essential tools you'll need include:

• Wrench set
• Screwdriver set
• Gasket sealant
• Replacement lift pump kit
• Clean cloth

Step 2: Prepare Your Work Area

Creating a clean and well-organized work area is crucial for an efficient lift pump overhaul. Ensure you have ample space to lay out your tools and parts, with good lighting to avoid any mistakes or mishaps during the process.

Step 3: Disconnect the Fuel Lines

Prior to removing the lift pump, it's important to disconnect the fuel lines to prevent any leaks or spills. Use caution when handling fuel and ensure appropriate safety measures are followed.

Step 4: Remove the Old Lift Pump

Using the appropriate tools, carefully remove the old lift pump from its mounting location. Take note of the orientation and position of any gaskets or seals, as these will need to be replaced during the overhaul process.

Step 5: Clean and Inspect

Thoroughly clean the mounting location and surrounding area using a clean cloth, removing any debris or residue. Inspect the area for any signs of damage or wear that may require additional attention.

Step 6: Install the New Lift Pump

Carefully install the new lift pump according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring all gaskets and seals are properly aligned. Use the appropriate torque settings to secure the pump in place, preventing any potential leaks or misalignment.

Step 7: Reconnect the Fuel Lines

Once the new lift pump is in place, reconnect the fuel lines with care. Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and free from any leaks.

Step 8: Test and Verify

After completing the installation, it's essential to test the lift pump to ensure proper functionality. Start the engine and observe the fuel delivery, checking for any abnormal sounds or leaks. If everything appears to be in order, congratulations! You have successfully completed the lift pump overhaul for your OM616 or OM617 engine.
