I have a discipline problem with going to the gym. I go hardcore as fuck for several weeks, start feeling really good, then don't go for like 2 months. I need some balance in my life.

Undying Dreams (05-17-2014)
I resealed this pump 4 years ago. It was burned out. I'm kinda upset at myself that I didn't see this coming earlier. I check fluid once in a while, but I probably haven't checked in a year or so. I started to hear a whine and was like, shit, o-ring. Didn't think much about, slept on it a bit until it started whining in hot temps and I started to smell some burned rubber (belt).
Belt looked okay (replaced it anyways), but I checked the fluid and it was dark and had dropped to the lower limit. I was like fuck. I removed the engine cover and saw a leak had developed from the high pressure side. Mierda!
The o-rings were caked. So I bought a shitty reman pump that had generally good reviews. I paid $120 for it and has a $40 back core exchange (not sure if I'll exchange or rebuild old pump). It's LLT as well. So it's cheaper than rebuilding the pump, and if it eats it, I get another one for free.
The reman has new parts, but they didn't clean the body very well and sprayed it with a shitty black primer. I guess you get what you pay for. Hopefully it holds out. I had to clean some of the threads out and soak up the extra oil, but so far so good.
I'll have to flush out the PSF one more time to get some of the old shit out.
