There are only about 4 other moving parts in the whole compressor, and they're all in good shape--no axial play at all. A new con rod and one crank bearing (that I need to remove to install the conrod, plus it has a wee bit of wobble to it) is under $50. I think I can deal with that.

I can replace this pump new for about $300...$750 would get me into a very nice 2 stage pump. I'd love to do that but I have other things to spend that money on...

Vaya con dios. I'd replace the pump.
