Except that a pressure plate isn't nearly a third of the cost of a new engine
and transmission, and removing a fuel pump isn't nearly as involved as pulling
the engine and transmission.
The question I need to answer for myself is whether to bother rebuilding the
pump, or just buy a new one for a few more dollars.
My question to listers is, has any one else ever encountered this clear
lamination, and is it necessary to the proper and lasting function of the
diaphragm and the pump?
