=========================================

I don't see much difference between the Lasdrop and the PSS. I used to own a
Lasdrop. It uses a springlike rubber bellows to maintain pressure on a rotating
seal just as the PSS appears to. Am I missing something?

(Wally's on my bozo list, so didn't see his post, but...)

I have nothing against the LasDrop - it's been flawless in 10 years of
service. But the problem with both the LasDrop AND the PSS is that if the engine
is missing, there's nothing to hold the two plates together, the shaft moves up,
and they leak.

The "problem" will be solved once I install the new engine.

Never thought of that. If somebody removes the engine while you're underway, it
could be catastrophic! :-)
