Questions about tappets and barrel valve

[Nhramember]

Hey everyone I replaced tappets ,pump,barrel etc . I have been getting 559 code which I did post earlier in the posts. I went ahead and pulled the head back off the pump to check the head. This is what I found. The tappets are fine cam in the pump is good. The barrel valve and plungers were like this when I took them off.

Yea that's a problem. The pump needs a whole new head, the check valve inside it is bad.

.Hey tree do they sell a rebuild kit for the head or do you have to buy a whole new head? Thanks for the input.

Nope, you have to buy the whole head

Best place to buy? Cummins or aftermarket rebuild?

Genuine cummins only

I did this a couple years back. You can read the whole thread if you'd like, but post #26 explains the parts list I used....
