I have a feeling that this pump is getting sent back to Terrill machine.....sigh. So not looking forward to draining this expensive ass fluid out and trying to save as much of it as I can. And with the Concours coming at the end of April... man these thing sure know how to pop up at the wrong time!

The shaft is what moves. When you watch the hub, it moves in and out about 1/8". Way too much movement. It almost seems like the impeller has come off some, but with this much play I would think the seal would not be working anymore and it would be leaking. But maybe the bearing is holding back the fluid for now.

Remember this is not a packing style pump, nor a Packard pump. It's an aftermarket solid bearing style pump. So yes I think the bearing is pressed on with the shaft and hub and the impeller is pressed on the other side. When I got it back in the mail it all looked perfect and I don't remember any of that movement being there, so something had to have come loose in the last 58 miles. That's how many miles I've racked up so far. Plus the idling.

I will call Feltz tomorrow for advise.

Also condolences to Feltz for the loss of his Dad recently.
