Tighten until you hear the crack, then back it off a quarter turn.

The push to return to office is nothing more than a push to thin out the numbers. Much cheaper for them to jump themselves than be pushed by management.

I used to struggle majorly with weight. Went on a pretty strict 20gm keto cut in about 2016 and dropped form 200lbs to 155lbs. Since then I've just settled around 160-170lbs. Whenever I notice I'm getting a bit heavy I just go back on Keto for 6 weeks or so and I'll be back down. Keto for me has a real appetite suppressing effect, so I'll usually only eat dinner and nothing else except a couple of coffees through the day. This all sounds very difficult to someone who hasn't done it, but I was shocked how easy it became after a week or two. You cut a lot of bloat and water weight in the first few weeks, so it's really rewarding looking at the scales day after day. Once you've done it and realise how easy it is, I find there's a lot less anxiety around weight.

Pretty sure I heard AvE say "tighten it 'til you hear the crack, then back it off a quarter turn" in one of his videos ;'D

Nice Seiko Arnie!

OK, I've opened my Bykski DDC pump fitted to my 7000D disto place and it's identical to the Barrow DDC pump fitted to the LTPRP-04 - both circuit boards are labelled as "Q2C-12B".

Also, this video shows the factory "Q2C-12B" pump in the Barrow LTPRKA-04, and others on Reddit etc have reported success in swapping this out for an EK DDC.

Given this, I'll go ahead and buy the EK DDC 4.2 PWM pump to replace my Bykski "B-PMD3-COV" and report back my findings next week.

Thank you for your feedback. I've read that the Bykski DDC pump is a "clone" of the Xylem / Laing DDC pump - so I was hopeful that the EKWB / Xylem / Liang DDC pump would mate to the Bykski disto plate.

I'm still very eager to hear from anyone who has replaced a Bykski DDC with a EKWB / Xylem / Liang DDC pump.

In the meantime I'll follow your advice (partially). I'll drain the loop and try disassembling the pump and cleaning it internally, as my father-in-law used to run the EK Solid / Matte CryoFuel coolant which may have gummed up the impeller and thrown off the balance.
