Thanks Kenz,
I'm going to go ahead and call HMF tomorrow and have them ship me a quiet core...with any luck I can get it here before Friday. I was trying to avoid driving from central Florida to the pan handle only to be turned away and not get to run. To be quite honest I hadn't given it too much thought until I caught this thread. I appreciate the info and hope to be running quietly this weekend.
Kevin
I would order new packing also. If you put in the quiet core and repack it you should be good.
