Fuel pump pushrod?

oldjunk said
Thanks guys for helping a :newb:. Yeah, I was on youtube and saw a guy changing the pump. It was a chevy. The gasket for the pump was a pita to get off. I used some permatex gasket remover that didnt do anything but remove the engine paint :angry5:. I ended up scraping most of it off with my fingernail since I couldn't get my scraper down there. This was the worst part of the entire job. You guys rock.:prayer:

I here ya' on old gasket removal. We've all been there but it's gotta be done:smile:. Glad it's working out for you.
As far as the chain goes, if you think it's old or getting loose you should probably prepare at some point in the future to replace it. Also not a bad time to put a new water pump on, if need be, since you'll have it apart anyway.
