Pete, thanks for that reference, interesting reading-I'm looking at these worn bearing clearances as similar to a race motor. Mart, I agree a rebuild is what I would like to do, but particularly with poured bearings, it's just not in the cards right now for me. It does seem like a good block with no obvious cracks or leaks, I understand it's possible to machine these blocks for shell bearings but I'm sure that would be a very expensive proposition. I'll just keep running it and watch for further changes-heck, it might outlive me (I'm 75)

Sounds like you did a good thing with that High volume pump. I'll be 70 in May and a buddy and I like to say "we don't have to buy the expensive asplalt shingles anymore, the 25 year cheapies are just fine".
