Leading Engine's Feed Pump in situ |
Inlet Valve
Inlet valve on opening for view |
Valve cap is intact |
Deposits on valve... |
...and on the seat... |
...but flushed clean away after regrinding |
Leading engine's pump valve cap cleaned, reground and in place (11th Sept 2011) |
Outlet Valve
Unlike the trailing engine's pump, there was no washer sitting on top of the valve. I don't know why this should be unless a botch was used on the trailing pump to reduce the maximum opening of the valve. Comments welcome.
Outlet valve and seat were fairly dirty on opening... |
...but much improved after a good grind! |
