Dennis, I know this issue has been thrown around since the lists started=
but why not convert to an electronic pump? I have been running an electron=
ic pump on my 3 for 20 years, my 4 for 15 and my 6 for 10. Zero issues. And=
no oil leaks from the pump or where it attaches to the block. No worry if =
the cam is too warn out to operate the lever. Bob
