BTW I have pulled my engine apart and the bearings have picked up and I suspect the pressure release valve in the pump was holding open as well. Never mind it could be worse and I will get away with a 10 thou clean up and new bearings and pump and will have it up and running in no time and am going down the machine shop right now!

Fair play to you Al. You must be sick to death of the troubles you have. Why has it picked up though.
