Remove the pump and turn the engine over by hand until the pump push rod is at a high point. Then drop the pump onto its studs and see if you have to push it down against its own spring pressure to seat against the spacer; this should be the case. The type 3 and type 1 spacers are the same. The manuals all show the exact length that the push rod should protrude at this point. You should measure and verify this.
