No i think it's from all the checking over 65k lol. Might be no harm to grease bolts? Is the helicoil a big job or simple? where's the best place to get?

This was my understanding too i.e. that the stepped piston diameter could put pressure on the seal if there was fuel behind it on the return stroke of the piston. This could potentially cause the seal to fail.  The words in italic are meant to mean that there is an element of chance/probability/luck involved in all this. Some folks have been fine up until now and it looks like you have been lucky so far, Micky. I guess I was not so lucky.

Again, perhaps JKMs pictures are better than words to explain the effect:

So if this is a genuine problem how much is an APR pump and is there a deal where you return you're old pump?

Yes.

You have to send your pump to them though. So unless you get your hands on another pump you will be without a car until it returns. They also can reject the pump if they find anything they don't like.

Your better off just buying the pump

Yeah was just thinking that but then the fact mine seems to not have that problem as it is well tested so to speak.
