NEED HELP,FUEL PUMP BOLT ISSUE,LEAKS OIL

My guess on how it got stripped in the first place, the eccentric on the cam was as the high point, putting pressure on the fuel pump arm.
Somebody changed the pump, and bound it up, so they just tightened the crap out of the bolts to pull it flush with the cover.

You’re probably right. You’d think they would have felt that when they installed it though. The fuel pump did work when I got the car. I had just replaced it because I assumed it was leaking. Turns out it was oil from the one bolt not tightening down. Too bad they made the mounting area the bolts go into out of aluminum. Seems like it’s always something,huh?
