Take all the shims out and see what you get.

I did the "fuel pump" test after the filter because I wanted to see the raw fuel pressure before the fuel head. I hooked up the WUR/fuel head for the normal system and control pressure tests. The WUR pressure was really high 4-5 bar. The system pressure buried the gauge.

Yes, I double checked my gauge hook-up. Closing valve on the WUR side.
Again, the fuel head was literally screaming - I am assuming way to much pressure. I didn't want to run this very long - internal damage to the fuel head (?). Tonite I am looking at the shims. I just hope there are some shims being used. If not - another step to deal with.
