While removing the fuel pump, the plunger dropped down into the engine. Is it likely that it dropped down into the oil pan? Has anyone else had this problem? I need to know how to get it out. Thanks |

Proper procedure is to remove fuel pump bolts and rotate crankshaft until fuel pump rises to its highest position on its cam lobe, in this position the plunger/tappet cannot fall into the crankcase. |
Why yes, the ORIGinal CHARGER is a Fastback |

Welcome to the forum Jeff. The first time I pulled one of those it did the same thing to me. Mine went to the bottom of the pan. I wish I would of known it before I pulled the pan off. Hopefully yours went there too. The only way to know for sure is to spend a lot of time and aggrivation dropping the pan. Good luck |

Removing the pan on a T444E is no fun. Engine needs to be supported so front crossmember can be moved out of the way. |

Have you thought about a bore scope? You can get a decent one for $300. Could come in handy later too. |

You can buy a cheap usb bore scope off ebay for about 15 bucks and hook it to your laptop if you want to fish around down the hole. |

Oh the irony . So I got my camara hooked up to my laptop for the first time today and guess what comes in the shop . A 444e with a fuel leak by the pump. Wiggled the cam down there and sure enough the fuel pump we installed a few months ago was leaking out the weep hole. I took a pick of the fuel dripping out for warranty . Best 15 bucks Ive spent in a while. Now if we could find a better supplier for IH parts than IH? |
