Yeah, let us know, you have us curious about it. Good luck with it. Some
of those bearings will not get noisy till they get hot. How is your water

I'll stop by FLAPS and pick one up. It's been unseasonably warm here

it sometimes goes a week or more with no noise, it may take a while
before I'm sure.

Thanks,
John
