3406 CAT pump carnage! - Competition Diesel.Com

Tore down a pump this morning a customer replaced the #2 plunger & barrel. Needless to say he'll regret it lol. Looks like the plunger teeth weren't lined up on the rack. Metal shavings went all through the pump all the lifters have scoring so the housing is probably going to be scrapped. #2 cam lobe is gone.

The governor and lift pump are about the only salvageable parts off this pump.
