I just removed and inspected the emergency gear pump after 740+ hours.
There was a scuffing on the interior cylinder and obviously with this =
many
hours the top seal was leaking fluid.  The emergency gear pump worked =
during
this whole period, sometimes hanging up with, I think, one of the check
valves sticking.  After rebuild and smoothing out the center bore, I am
finding that the pump will not charge and wondering if others are having
problems with their emergency gear pump.  What have you elected to do to =
fix
it?

Door Seal:
On my fifth door seal in 8 years and in each case the seal began leaking =
at
the vulcanization point.  Anyone else having this problem and are there =
any
alternatives to the Lancair provided seal?  From the increase of a bit =
over
$200 per seal to the current $445, for a faulty item, it seems there =
should
be a better alternative out there.  The book still calls out 20 lbs of
pressure for the door seal and after talking to Justin, he is =
recommending
12-14 lbs, which is where I currently have adjusted my 5th door seal. =20
