The other important thing in rebuilding a fuel pump is making sure the casting mating surfaces are flat. With time, and pressure from the parts being screwed together, they tend to warp, causing leaks.

It's a simple procedure. We used 220-grit dry sand paper and a flat surface dragged the bodies in a circular formation until all points were touching.
