Ok got a pic but gotta say she's rougher than pics show, I split it and its been in a soakin tub for prob 6 months. I havent had a chance to try and get it loose with grease gun , pistons look fairly pitted , I wouldnt have time to try and get it apart for a closer look till sunday. So im not sure its worth the cost to ship it.
