Was pressure dropping? Are you running 3" or 3.25" mains? I ask because I talked to Don Stellhorn about his issues and it sounded like sustained rpm and high bearing speeds resulted in spun bearings more than once so he hit the LS button and didn't look back.

I'm building mine for similar duty, hope to run into you one of these days once she's finished!
