: The Roosa Master pump is not to difficult to build but very easy to screw up. Tools and manuals are available from any authorized Stanadyne dealer (use to be Roosa Master) I do not reccomend building your own since one wrong move and you can seize the pump as soon as it starts. When the head seizes, it usually breaks the drive shaft in two, so instead of a minor repair it turns out to be a catastrophe. Some heads cost in excess of a thousand dollars with most in the $300 to $500 dollar range. E-mail me for more info.
: Diesel Dan (the pump man) I'd never try to rebuild my own pump. Let the experts do this. But I would add, however, that you need to select your diesel repair shop carefully. Ask around. Find out where local equipment dealers send their pumps to be rebuilt. Check certifications of the shop's employees. Not all diesel shops are equal. Also, more expensive is not necessarily better, as I recently learned the hard way.
