Sure do, and glad to say I do know you. We've had some good times, no? The torch method is their practice too; as when lots of pumps lose a mechanical seal or packing, cavitation eats impellers, volutes and housings, lock up bearings etc. The housing is most important to save, next impeller, lastly the shaft. rest of parts almost over the counter. Turned new ones quite a few times there, including the one we took to Hawaii. All we had for reference was the thrashed rotating assembly of a split case centrifugal. Those bearings disassembled themselves; neither surgical or simple approach.
