dickandlois Report post Posted July 7, 2015 Well, I have to admit that I can not find the post made by one of the Forum members regarding this issue. R and R of the engine tappet cover to replace failed gasket that is located on the intake manifold side of the engine. Think the OP mentioned he had a Cummins ISB series engine with a Bosh VP-44 Injector pump. This set up requires removing the fuel injector pump to gain access to at least one of the 6 bolts used to secure the valve tappet cover plate and removing the fuel filter might make things easier. I'm not referring to the Rocker Arm cover at the top of the engine! When the injector pump is removed it will need to be installed with the proper timing for the pump to operate properly. Removing the tappet cover is not difficult when you have access. Had to look at the engine manual and the set up to understand the difficulty of this repair and the fact that one is almost standing on there head to reach down along the side if the engine. Rich. Well posting it twice is better then hitting the wrong key and starting over !! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
