It worked!  No more hesitation/missing third for about 2-3 secs.  Maybe
I'll have a reprieve from a big overhaul for a while.  I'd rather save
up for these things, rather than doing work on credit.  So any idea
about US$ to recondition a frozen T3 block (stock, not hi-perf.)?  I'm
just looking for a ball-park figure so that maybe I can save up enough
dough for a summer project.
