A retired operator in Galveston showed me his trick for spotting a worn pump liner
He just tapped it with a wrench handle and said, 'If it don't ring clear like a bell, it's got a crack you can't see yet.' Anyone have a different method for checking liner wear before a full teardown?

Ever tried the old magnet trick for that?

Magnet trick is a total gamble lol. Tried it once looking for a lost earring back. Ended up pulling a bunch of paperclips and old screws out of the carpet. The real kicker was when it stuck to my laptop hinge for a second and my heart stopped. Not worth the panic over possibly wrecking something expensive.

Actually saw a whole thing about that magnet trick online, @sarah950. Some people swear by it for finding stuff, but the comments were full of warnings. Turns out a strong magnet can really mess up electronics or credit cards if you're not careful. The general advice was to maybe try it in a small area first. Honestly, it seems like one of those ideas that works better in theory than in real life. Would probably just end up causing a different problem.
