The seal works perfectly and there is very little heat build up. I was surprised how much the motor pulls down after 200psi. I assume it is from the shaft pushing into the thrust bearing. Also I am running the motor on 12v because it spins to fast on 24 with no load.</span></div><div><span>Hank</span></div><div class="yiv1183057370yahoo_quoted" id="yiv1183057370yui_3_13_0_ym1_6_1387044021305_6" style="display: block;">
