Good call for everyone that suggested the bypass. Took about 2 hours to drop the pan and pump, tear it apart and clean the cylinder and valve with some brass wool and put it back together. Valve took some persuasion to get it out but after cleaning had smooth motion. [ATTACH=CONFIG]527294[/ATTACH] Didn't crank it up yet but did spin it over and pressure seems to be back to normal.
