That’s a great view. I trieid changing my fuel pump in my 440 and the push rod is in the front stuck. It’s solid, can’t move it. Any suggestions, thx

If I understood… you removed the fuel pump, and the pushrod is blocked? If you turn the engine like in the video, the pushrod don’t moves?

@@LoveMopar thanks for the quick reply. Yes I removed the fuel pump and the push rod is all the way down and won’t move. I did turn the engine and nothing

Ok, remove the time chaining cover... try to extract the used fuel pump pushrod, that is driven by the camshaft... there is a plug just under the fuel pump opening on the block. Lube the new rod with grease and insert it in the block. The fully installed rod will only have a small portion of the rod showing. Then position the fuel pump into the block making sure the pump lever is seated correctly against the pump rod...

@@LoveMopar I actually did all that. The problem was a pinched hose from the fuel tank. Thx for your reply

How do I check if my pushrods worn out

[@LoveMopar]

You can remove the fuel pump and then the pushrod, that is operated by the camshaft … check the ends of the pushrod…. In order to detect if it is worn in the ends
