Might check Mancini/Summit/Hughes etc sites & see what you see. I'd pump it up before you tear it down if you can & as you know then when torn down a good visual for cracks/flatness check/head bolt torque/depth check/gasket condition on the Dr side deck live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
