^^ what thoiboi said.
On his note of the washers letting in air, how are the o-rings doing throughout the system? Were they replaced recently?

I'm sorry, that was a brain fart... I meant o-rings, not washers

Pfft okay. I read your post and was confused, but figured that since I haven't rebuilt my PS pump I couldn't really argue on whether the washers in there could form a seal in the first place.

Still always fighting it. It is not air in system. Brought 4. pump from junkyard. Dis time after pump replacement will bleed it with that thing in post nr 11.

It can take a couple of hundred miles for all the air to work its way out, and it will whine and groan loudly until then. (Just had this done.)
