Guest mattrp Posted February 13, 2000 Share Posted February 13, 2000 I performed the JTR conversion on my car two months ago using the JTR kit. Several times now I have had the fuel pump block off plate start leaking. I am pretty sure it is a result of the set back mounting plate hitting the bottom of the plate and destroying the seal. I have redone the seal with just a felpro gasket, gasket and gasket maker, and just gasket maker. Every time it has leaked, making a huge mess of the engine, and this time cutting my day at thunderhill in half. (When you get oil on your tires and every 20 minute run uses a quart of oil, its time to quit) Any suggestions for products to block off the leak? I am using one of those stupid chrome plates you get from kragen.

SpeedRacer Posted February 13, 2000 Share Posted February 13, 2000 I don't know what to tell you. I also use the JTR method and the fuel pump block off plate is a good .5" away from the mount. Do you have the correct JTR spacers in place? You could shim the mount a bit if more clearence would help. Just use the template in the JTR manual to make a shim. Also, I just use a simple Moroso chrome plated steel block off plate held on with 4 Allen head bolts and a standard gasket with no problems.

Mikelly Posted February 14, 2000 Share Posted February 14, 2000 I had the same problem initially. My issue was with my CSI block off plate, which was billet and much thicker than a standard block off plate. I ditched it for a conventional unit and then shimmed the mounts so the plate wasn't making contact with the setback plates!

MONGO510 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Do you have a bolt in the 55-57 motor mount hole that intersects with the fuel pump push rod passage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
