Watch that wear pad (bushing pad) under the crank in the CP3. If you took the aluminum face plate off without something holding the crank down in place the wear pad ears (3 of them) will usually turn and youll never get it together properly (with out free turning with the face on). The wear pad will need to be realigned. You either need to pull the crank to do it or have a special tool to realign it (I made one). I had to do this quite frequently for these pumps a few years ago. There is a thick shim with a taper on it that slides down into place as you rotate the assembly to hold the plungers up in the bores to relieve the pressure off the crank cam so you can pull it straight out. Made one a few years ago. Cant remember the thickness exactly. I think it was like .070 or .090 thick. Made it to go 3/4 or so around the inside of the bore. Worked like a charm. It was some ridgid stuff. Hope this helps.

I remember you telling me step by step over the phone how to get the cp3 pump back together, after i decided to take the front cover off to plug off the dual feed line fittings on an ats pump. got it back together though!:D

No, really on a serious note, i have 2 slipped/bulged/herniated disk in my lumbar vert's and with moderate scoliosis, it hurts like a bizzatch some times and it has a tendancy to kill my plans. Latley i've had to take my fairly stout painkillers on a daily basis and it only fazes it:( Anyhow

I wanna get you fellas some good pics of CP3 guts, pretty cool and i've wanted to see the insides as bad as you guys prolly have! Now on that, this sucker is filthy too boot, nasty enough to make details hard to see, so im gonna get it torn down all the way (still has the crank and pump elements in it), cleaned up good and I'll do up some nice pics an might do a vid of it so you can see how the crank actuates the pistons and such, cause its alot differant than i though, kinda cool! So Stick with me here, All is in order!:hug:
