I don't know. This particular engine may have the fuel pump driven directly from a cam lobe, instead of a push rod that rides on the lobe of a cam.
My example wasn't to say that a push rod was worn, but to say, just because you replaced the fuel pump itself, unless you measured the fuel pressure output from the pump, don't discount that there would be still be issues with a part that you replaced. Of course it's very rare, but a new part could somehow also been faulty.
Good luck with your problem, I hope you let us know what the final fix is when you find it.
