Re: [T3] 74/78 crank?

<x-flowed>Aaron,
        Aircooled.net sells a tool that you use to clean up the oil piston 
seating surface, 
http://www.aircooled.net/new-bin/viewproductdetail.php?keyword2=TZE0029&cartid=, 
and this can be used while the engine is together and they claim they 
haven't found an engine yet that didn't gain 10psi of oil pressure at 
idle.  I have been considering buying one myself and cleaning up the oil 
piston seats on my bug and the AS21 case I'm going to be using in my 
Notchback.

        The cost of the tool is $65, or you can rent it for $25 with a 
$100 deposit.  If you even get a 5 to 7 psi increase I think it would be 
worth it.  It's an option.
