i recently bought a new/used pump and installed it, when i went to time it the plunger would not move to allow to put in time. i pulled the dv holder and the spring holding the dv was rusty. none of the plungers moved eventuall two somewhat freed up, its a 175 pump and never been touched(tamper screw still in) and supposed to have 81k. my question is there any way to free the plungers up? i soaked them in penetrating oil. and do you think the pump is salvagable?? any help is greatly appreciated

Ya im just saying once they start sticking its time to rebuilt. I actually got mine free but let the truck sit over nite and the same thing they were sticking. I tried several times and just gave up and got it rebuilt.

Wd40 an a light tap of hammer but it is pointless man. You can get your pump done for right around 1000.
