Who is running modified walbro - releif valve closed?

How long have you been running a Walbro with the relief valve closed? Has anyone had any problems yet?

I have one that I just modified - but the engineer in me is having a hard time installing it. The valve closed will make for higher thrust loads on the bearings inside and might lead to much shorter life...

LOL. The "engineer" in you may be correct.
