When you take it spart again, if you haven't replaced the case cam needle brgs., you should do that too., with the Torrington/ koyo needle brgs. Check to see that the nickel sized fat oring is on correctly. I've found it easier to put the oring on the case first, grease up both the oring and the inside lip of the pump then slide it on by hand, then put the camp late on and start your four bolts and do what the manual says about tightening it up. If you put the oring in the pump first, it can screw up easily .
