Mk3 2000 GXL Fuel Pump (OHC)

[KKCortina 3]

Hi again... query re Fuel Pump for above OHC..... for some reason the one that I replaced a few years ago does not appear to be pumping fuel to Weber carb..... current one was fitted with a space block about 4mm or 5mm wide.....this block disintegrated a bit on one side due to over-tightening I'd say (torque should be 12-15 per manual) which may have caused pump pin and pump face to be off centre/mis-aligned ......

 

My questions are ...

(1) Should there be a block only .......or block+gasket (gasket next to pump body).....or gasket/block/gasket.........

(2) Replacement pumps tend to be Moprod or similiar non Ford...... are these sealed for life and non-servicable or maintainable re cleaning filter/blowing out dirt etc..?

 

Thanks in advance..... (Electric not an option..... at the moment anyway!)
