Don’t like shouting out bad news but you’ve said that it’s been sitting. Maybe rod bearings? I would try dumping a few cans of engine flush additives. Make sure there isn’t a double oring on the oil filter housing.

Pagid have got a new pad out called Street+ which is getting good reviews. Might be worth a look.

I remember a few years ago reading that what someone had done with theirs after replacing the lumbar support a few times and it repeatedly breaking, they cable tied the two pieces together and it worked well for them. Unfortunately I can't give you any more information because I haven't had one of these seats apart, but I hope that's of some help to you.

Yeah, the pump was $100 so no regrets. I'll sell the old one for $40 and I at least know that I can rely on the new one when I push for more power.
