Is it possible to pressure test the OD while it has lube in it just to see if it holds pressure?
Was going to do just the impellar and such but thought I saw a very small amount of gear lube in the bellows when I removed the OD, so I thought I would bring it to a local pro to pressure test and he doesn't like the lube drained before you bring it to him...........guess so he can see 1st hand what comes out. But now I am thinking of pressure testing myself and if it is OK just do normal PM...that's why I want to do it filled.....
Also, can I rig a fuel pressure gauge to test it? I am un der the impression a pressure gauge is a pressure gauge..........
