A few months ago I bought a Flight Systems FSD and a Dorman remote mount kit. I didn't want to pull the intake to remove the gray Stanadyne from the pump.
While having the injectors out I pulled the intake to clean all the baked on junk out of it from blowby and the working EGR. I noticed that there was 1 bolt missing from the Stanadyne FSD, yes the hardest one, bottom back corner. I'm guessing that FSD was what the previous owner meant when he said something about the pump having just been replaced.
I've noticed the integral aluminum heatsink of the Flight Systems FSD is not very flat, the on of the Stanadyne FSD appears to be a lot flatter and made out of some type of plastic.
After reading through Buddys pdf doc about these engines I had a tough/idea about transferring the heat from the transistors to the heatsink.
A few, 15 or so, years ago I was playing around with water cooling my computer. The was one company, Koolance, that sold a hard drive cooler/water block and in the kit was some electrically insulated, thermally conductive encapsulating compound that you filled the bottom/circuit board of the hard drive with. Wouldn't that same or similar compound be great to cover the transistors and make them thermally conductive with and electrical insulated from the heatsink? You'd have to remove the black plastic covers from the Flight Systems.
