I read all posts even if they don't apply to a Comet,I can always learn something new and I often need to:D I class myself as a reasonable amateur.

John Appleton had the same idea,I wish I had the idea before I assembled the engine:o The worm is an original and must be made of better material than the plunger as apart from the now obvious wear it is fairly undamaged,no chips or cracks. I cannot at the moment see much swarf in the area but a thorough inspection and clean will be carried out before the new pump AND worm are fitted. So-- no one to blame but myself.
