Has anyone out there had this problem with a 62 series 2H motor? The injection pump is leaking a small amount of diesel from the unions on the top of the injection pump. Is it common, will tightening the unions fix it or am I better off just leaving it alone?

Hi. If the leak you are talking about is from the unions that the injector pipes fit to , these are the delivery valve holders and some times weep a little. Suggest you loosen the injector pipes and nip up the unions. Some of these holders require a special spanner or socket so you may not be able to do yourself unless you are an engineer.
If nipping them up does not stop the leak you will have to replace the seals under the unions which mat be either a hard nylon or copper, these are special washers for the pump.
Good luck
Ray

The unions for the injector pipes are a compression type fitting, so just try to nip them up only. Overtightening could result in a split pipe and more work. If nipping them up doesn't work you may have to remove the suspect pipe anyway and inspect the end for any damage.
And yes the oil filter blow out can be caused by a jammed oil pressure relief valve.
This can jam because of lack of oil changes or just plain old and worn.
Happened to me not long after I bought my old 75 troopy.
Fixed it by removing the releif valve piston which is on the driver's side of the motor
towards the front under the power-steering pump. There is a large bolt (22mm?) on the side of
the block. Very awkward to get to in the troopy may be easier in a wagon. Remove the bolt and the spring and piston should be behind it.
Inspect the piston and
check for scoring and wear marks (
mine was old and worn).
I replaced the piston and spring (fairly inexpensive genuine) and cleaned out the
bore in the engine. I did this by using very fine (1200) wet and dry.
Cleaned the
bore out thoroughly with solvent cleaner. This
bore is part of the oil pump which is a major job to detach from the engine to fix on
the bench.
Fortunately this 'quick fix' worked and I put another 50k on 300k engine without any more problems. Otherwise the oil pump would've had to come off.
Hope this helps.
