Default No problems with SD-8

I've had the SD-8 on the IO-540-D4A5 with 9:1 pistons for 1000 hours with no problems, and on my first RV-10 with 9.2:1 pistons for 800 hours with no problems. I know early on B&C had some problems with the coupling shearing, but they fixed that with a stronger coupling.

Just recently went to the B&C 40 amp on the vacuum pad so it would carry the whole load if needed.
