Re: [T3] Breaking in a rebuilt


That last sentence from Russ says it all... and THAT is the problem,  the
stuff on the market today is of questionable quality... Berg ran into this
problem bigtime several years back, the broke in all thier cams before they
sold them to you.

So yes, in the old days you were probably fine but with todays crap... you
really need to be anal about it or ask yourself that one question  "Do I
feel Lucky?"
