    If u had it apart 2 days ago then I would take it apart again & make sure you didn't forget something or a piece went in wrong.

    I'd pull the impeller out of the pump and check it for swelling/cracks. When you reassemble everything make sure the impeller spindle is straight. Might help anyway

    Dunno. But it was piping hit after running for 30 seconds each time. Now I know why I was having some temp issues.
