Dave,

This is not in response to your questions, but a comment on the engine. If your P5a is 20-5510-1 then please continue to read. If not, you can go back to your PS3 installation.

20-5510-1 was not a great puller because the tach tape was on the wrong motor. This caused the electronics to wrongly interpret motor input resulting is slippage. The fix was to install the tach reader on the other motor. All MTH P5s after this one had the tach reader on the other motor. I wound up selling the engine instead of fixing it, but since you already have it open I recommend your move the tach reader for improved engine performance.

Now the question would be if you bought this used, was this change already done?

ADDED: here is the previous topic on this: 20-5510-1 fix
