I replaced pump on the port side a year ago after chewing up 2 impellers, then had the same problem on the starboard. Seems that the bearings went and the ensuing wobble ate the impellers. had to replace an aftercooler and exhaust side from the overheat. Still like the 4BTAs, very economical, and gives lots of workaround room. Pushes the 31 at 30k WOT. only other problem is rough idle at min rpm
