injection pump removal or ALH pump swap writeup, water pump writeup, intermediate shaft seal writeups are up

ALH injection pump or injection pump removal - to clear some things up, I don't suggest a pump swap unless you: can afford to have your car down for long, feel like getting every last drop of efficiency out of the car, plan on putting an 11mm head on it.

It's nowhere near economical to just replace the pump for a leak or to restore lost efficiency. Just remove and reseal if you have a leak. However, if you want to move to an 11mm head, this is a good idea. In addition, if your pump is truly bad and you need a new one, buying a "take off" pump that someone is selling off an ALH can be more economical than buying a used one and then having it rebuilt.

water pump removal and replacement and intermediate shaft seal replacement - these used to be 1 writeup but I split them into 2 just to keep them focused and I had more notes to add. It's possible to remove the whole intermediate shaft by loosening 2 motor mounts, raising the engine a little and pulling the shaft straight out.

Yes but stuff happens.

Again, I suggest that if your pump is leaking, just reseal it. Only if there's a serious problem with it does it need replacement. Or if you want to go to the next level of power, you need more fueling (and of course more air). A 11mm injection pump from an ALH can be swapped with this procedure.
