Iirc Mike the fitting blew off the cobbled valve and gauge right below 1500.what kind of pressure did you get from her? i had a whole stack of little problems affecting the DB and i'm not done chasing all those yet. i still may have to get a new pump. i did have her lift doing all it supposed to but at 450psi if would raise a back blade. lots of rotten o rings in it. since you had her apart i dont think water is the problem. could be the wrong fluid? the uk guys are telling me to use motor oil straight 30. eye dont see a difference between 30 motor oil and 30 hydro but they say it is?
