What did you ever find out? Bad crank?
No smoking gun,the crank is great. All restricters in. The only two things it could have been are solved by a new pump. It was within wear limits, but had 2 grooves on both sides of the housing (pics/measurements previously posted). The other is bypass spring shitting itself or valve stuck open, or both.
I have no other answer, so we shall see.
I also threw new oil squirters in for good measure...
And another mishap Kenny had makes me confident it was the grooves in the pump. He lost pressure, pulled the pump apart, and it looked like mine. Albeit another platform.
You know what this means. Call me down whenever, man.

Good to see movement, Bills. :)
OK, I need to order a cam degreeing kit so I have it when the BC gears are shipped.
Thoughts on which brand/model?
Looking at this: http://www.amazon.com/Cams-4796-Univ...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Its a race to see if you'll get running before I sell mine :lo5l:
