i am going to need to buy a repair kit for the drive shaft from the injector pump to oil pump/timing gear. this includes the bearings and the seal. my only problem is that all repair kits i come across say that they are for simms pneumatic pumps- would this work on my engine with the miniec pump !? does at actually matter as surely it makes no differance as its the bearings/seal sit in the engine block casting and aint nothing to do with the pump !?

Hi MJG, I used the Agriline injection pump bearing and seal kit for my minimec pump and its fine.

So glad you got your crank problem sorted

All the best
Steve

Thanks Steve - I will buy that one then ! Ha yes thank god - got pitons in today and crank still turns ! So must be good !

Regards,mike

Bearings were always an RLS-7 at the front and a 6204 at the back, remember the seal must be the full width. When we got Agriline's kit it only had two 6204 bearings and a half thickness seal. They also sell a strange bearing, that approximates itself to an RLS-7 in metric approximations. Stay well clear from it. It's loose on the auxiliary shaft and tight in the block. Neither bearing must be sealed.
