: Turning Up the pump (from the top or side?)

Ok so I've searched and searched about turning up the Injection pump. some say its easier from the top but others like going through the side. What is the best easiest way to get this done? It looks to be a pain in the butt either way:rolleyes: I took the top cover of the pump off and didn't know really what to do from there without messing stuff up. Does anyone know where to find pictures or a write up on what to look for and what to do? Thanks :)

heres the link for it. http://assets.bankspower.com/manuals/429/96291-v2-web.pdf

in my opinion its alot easier to go in through the top since the side requires intake removal and even then its still a PITA

It seems easy to me... what should i look out for? the directions from banks make it look like i could do it with my eyes closed

It is easy.... just make sure you don't try to start the engine till you've made sure you have the cover back on correctly and the shut-off solenoid clicks like it's supposed to.

Thanks for the link, I just got done turning up my pump and it wasn't hard, except for the allen head on the back of the pump, I had to heat up an allen wrench multiple times to get it at the right angle to seat, and still be able to turn it.

I might have to turn it back down a little bit, I might have gone a little over 1/4 turn, the allen wrench stripped on me (when they say the screw is tight, they mean it) and I wasn't sure if it had turned at all, then I went another 1/8 turn because I didn't want to get in there and have accomplished anything. The smoke is rolling a little more than I wanted, but it sure does get into the boost quicker! I am pleased with the changes so far.
