It looks like new. I have the updated tan plastic model, not the really bad black one. It even turns easier than the new metal GMB I bought. So, should I put it back on and return the new pump? Or are there issues with possible micro cracks I can't see, seals that might be ready to go, worn bearings, etc. I'll wait an hour or so before I reassemble to see if anyone responds to this. Opinions please! Thanks, Dave 98.5 SE/sport/MTX Brembo rotors w/KVR front and Mintex A/F rear Pro-Flow 75mm MAF w/KKM filter-Nice!
