Had a couple of overheating issues. Went through a couple of impellers. Rex forgot the disclaimer about shelf life of the neovane impellers. Gonna call for some fresh ones tomorrow. Also have a couple of oil leaks that kinda made a mess. Other than that it ran pretty good. Sorry I don't have larger pics but crap happens.

Good to see you're running.
On the impellers, I would put some petroleum(SP)
jelly on them. I know it works for o-rings.
Just a thought,

Itsahobby First impeller change I didn't have anything. Second one they brought a grease gun down and I lightly lubed the cover. After that it worked just fine. Had fun its just gonna be a couple of weeks before I can use it again.....maybe.
