OK, I had a problem with my rebuilt oil pump on my rebuilt mtr, which loses prime after sitting.

Anyway, I sent it off to a guy well known in the 8N community (please don't ask who, I don't want a pissing contest) for repair because he has a method of bench testing it.
The good news is he confirmed the the pump has great pressure and volume but loses prime after sitting overnight.
He did check the pickup tube for leaks and regasketed it before testing.
The bad news is he had it 2 months, many emails and phone calls later and he never repaired it, or attempted to repair it, or figured out what the problem was.
So I had it returned.
To the question, is there a professional shop I can send it to that can repair it, or at least determine if it is repairable that has a method of testing it and a reasonable turn around time?
thanks!
