To sleeve a shaft, is the sleeve a press-fit or is it mechanically connected or
welded?

Usually it's interference fit, you freeze the shaft and put the sleeve in
the oven, then have about 10 seconds or less of working time to mate them.

I have seen some Readi-Sleaves that are held on with Loc-tite. They are a
very close fit and are only a few thousandths thick.
Seals with 2 springs like that are designed to stop fluid from both sides of
the seal where most are only designed to seal one way.

That and the fact that on the PB unit the solder joints are also mechanical
connections for the side circuit boards. A lot if mechanical stress on those
joints in particular.

I have ordered a new shut-off valve for my 300SD.
The procedure described in the book looks pretty straightforward, pretty much
remove old, install new but it stresses making sure the hook on the valve arm
is engaged in the stop arm in the injection pump. Is there any special trick
to this?
Install the shutoff solenoid without the bolts and suck on the vacuum
connection. If it pulls itself tight to the IP when suction is applied, you've
got it hooked in place. If you've got it stuck in the way of the stop arm
instead of hooked into the stop arm, it can't pull itself up to the IP
It's sort of a lift and insert process. You'll know it's hooked on the
linkage, as if you try to pull it straight out the back once it's hooked it
will only pull out a short distance.

No need to change anything other than flipping the demand regulator over.
For that matter. You can hook it up without doing anything to the fuel system
and it will probably run just fine.
