My best guess on the spool valve is that
once the pump stops (in the hi position) the valve closes from the
lack of fluid moving. At that point the lo side becomes closed. The fluid in the
lo side expands from the temperature increase, then it's just a matter of time
and temp for the lo sensor to open. This is where an expansion tank would come
in handy. Oh well.

One other point, all of this talk about pressures up and

How to accomplish that is the question.

You have
hit the nail on the head, Randy. Look at how the hydraulics work in the
LIV and you find this exact scenario. The pump only pumps in one
direction and the hydraulic flow is controlled by a typical spool valve that
manages which side of the circuit is pressurized, which side is the (0psi)
return. WIthout seeing the hydraulic schematic for the LNC2 pump, it
seems to me that its internals should be accomplishing this same task... its
failure to do so results in all these weird circuit pressurization problems
that are being reported.
