Side Cover Gasket For CAV Lucas DPA 9045-137A Fits Mostly Ford

Description

Side Cover Gasket For CAV Lucas DPA 9045-137A (Fits Mostly Ford)

---

This side cover gasket (9045-137A) is used on CAV / Lucas / Delphi DPA injection pumps to seal the side inspection cover and prevent fuel leaks along the pump housing.

These gaskets commonly fail with age, causing fuel to seep or drip down the side of the pump and engine block.

This is usually the side cover that this gasket goes to: DPA Injection Pump Side Cover 7180-57a

Common Symptoms This Fixes

• Fuel leaking down the side of the injection pump
• Wet or damp area around the side cover
• Gasket visibly bulging or pushed out
• Slow fuel seep that gets worse over time

If your pump is leaking from the side cover area, this gasket is usually the fix.

---

Fitment

• Fits most CAV / Lucas / Delphi DPA injection pumps
• Commonly used on Ford diesel applications
• Also found on many Perkins and agricultural engines using DPA pumps

If you are unsure, contact us with your pump number or photos—we can help confirm.

Why This Part Fails

Most of these pumps are decades old, and the original gasket:

• Hardens and shrinks over time
• Gets brittle from heat cycles
• Can bulge or distort, causing leaks

Modern diesel fuel (ULSD) can also accelerate gasket deterioration.

Installation Notes

• Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly before installing
• Do not overtighten screws (aluminum threads strip easily)
• Inspect the side cover for warping or damage
• Replace the cover if sealing surface is compromised

Pro Tip

If your pump is leaking in multiple areas, it may be more cost-effective to install a complete seal kit instead of replacing individual gaskets one at a time. We sell this kit for your pump: DPA injection pump kit replaces Delphi 7135-110
