I do not plan on rebuilding the pump. I do have a very good engine machine shop I use l. Being that this pump is so cheap compared to what I normally work on. I’m going to replace it. Just surprised that no air is bleeding though.It isn't unusual to have injector pumps rebuilt. However it is such a highly skilled type of mechanical repair and so exactling that it is almost always done by a professional shop that does that and nothing else. There is one person on TBN that thas surch a shop.
But because the work is so specialized, I've never done it myself, and I don't know any mechanics that have. Worse yet, I have never even tested one. & don't even know the answer to your question.
What about the return line?
Only return lines are off the injectors. Nothing off the pump.
