I was looking for more consistent oil pressure on an 8N front mount and did not get what I wanted! I got a new spring and replaced the old one which looked worn on the inside. The plunger had a flat spot about 3/16ths of an inch in area. Started her up and had less pressure than before. Is it possible to resurface the dome shaped plunger or should I just get the $21.00 new plunger? I have a metal lathe and/or drill press to resurface it. Are both surfaces made of the same metal or is the plunger softer? Any info is appreciated!!
