Thanks for the reply, Willm.

Printer Works has the individual parts also, but I got the whole assembly
for $27 just for convenience and in case I had some other problem too. I
ended up just swapping rubber goods anyway.

My point is that the newer parts are different from the originals, meaning
that Cannon had identified a problem with the engine. That problem could
have been related to the noise experienced by posters in last month's
thread.
