    In response to MikeB

That's OK Mike, sometimes I'm not always clear.

Doc, it should have about 30 psi at idle, so I still need some ideas guys. Guess I'll have to pull the pan if the compression checks out, but not sure what good that will do. It's a new pump with probably less than 2000 miles on it, so what can go wrong just sitting? Should I run some Marvel Mystery oil in it? I'm a little affraid to run it too much with that low of pressure.
