untill this issue arose, i was not aware that there are two versions of the piston pump. i can only assume i have the high-pressure version. my next question will be, is there a volume difference? and is there a negative to just regulating the piston pump? i have the opportunity to buy a complete P-pump motor out of a fedex truck right now for $900. the engine is complete minus the turbo. i believe the mileage to be approx. 245,000. i know its origin, and the seller is a trusted lifelong friend who's cousin is a fedex mechanic. he pulled the engine from a wrecked truck. it is a much more involved project than just resealing my VE, but very tempting! would i need to run a regulator still if i put a P-pump in front of the high-pressure piston pump?

I'm a moron that doesn't even know how to back flush his cooling system, so someone who knows will have to chime in.
The only reason I know about the piston lift pumps is from researching it to replace the diaphram lift pump I've got now.
Off topic: Is your truck still for sale? If so, where is it listed? The way things are going with my truck, I may take it down to the river bottom and burn it. And need a new one. The Salt River that is, I'm in AZ as well.

here is the cause of the tore up KSB piston bore:
some gorrila with a hammer had a good time. so now i get the reassuring fact of knowing i rebuilt my pump when the main pump body is JUNK! YAY!

i just filed all the high spots off the piston, and ran a small wheel-cylinder hone through the bores. its not perfect, or ideal, but its gonna hafta work:
the piston now fits well, and moves very smoothly with zero binding, and very little percievable "slop". my calibrated finger comparators tell me i now have about a .005" slip fit. i hope that provides enough of a seal to overcome the spring.
