Diesel Injection Pump

[pmehringer001]

I have a 6.5 NA diesel. I am halfway through putting a turbo on it. I am at the point of turning up the fuel screw. I know it’s supposed to be turned 1/4 turn for turbo application. However one of the three bolts that holds the top cover on has snapped off. Does this cover hold much pressure in it? Would I be fine to put a little gasket maker around it and just use the other 2 bolts? Is the rubber gasket that’s already in the cover enough for it not to leak?

About 10-15 psi in normal operation.

Give it a try, but as opposed to "a three-legged stool never wobbles," a two-screwed cover probably won't seal.
