When I had my BMC 1.5 Diesel’s in the Hampton 25 and Bounty 30, I used either Calcutt Boats who would supply anything from a single screw to a complete refurbished engine! More locally I also used ASAP Ltd over Beccles way, put they wouldn’t supply everything, unless you were a registered marine engineer, which was very odd indeed. I wanted a spin off filter conversion ASAP said no Calcutt Boats next day delivered!
Guess who got most of my business. Did most of the work my self, old engines are on the whole a lot easier than modern ones!

You can obtain various additives to make the modern low sulphur stuff more friendly for the older diesels. Any chandler should be able to help you out with those once you get your injection pump fixed.
