Guys, got the head back from the machine shop over the weekend. Ended up costing me $85 to have the #3 exhaust guide replaced, guides honed to fit new valves and valve seats touched up. I also sent the injectors to a local shop to have them tested to make sure they were ok. I finished up putting the top end back together last night. I cranked the tractor over a little before the battery died but it didn't even try to fire off. I think I may still have air in the lines. I had to use an air nozzle to push air into the tank to get the filter full. I'm confident that I have it good to go.
I need advice on the CAV pump. I have always dealt with the Simms pumps. I know how to bleed them. Is the air bleed for the CAV pump that tiny little bolt on the side of the pump? 5/16" head I think? When I have the injector lines cracked at the injectors I'm getting a little dribble of fuel and I'm also seeing fuel in the return line but there was no smoke from the manifold that indicated to me that it was trying to start. Any words of wisdom or sharing of experience would be greatly appreciated!
