when I bought the eagle crank I thought it was good right out of the box. over the yrs i'v learned better. the crank will be corrected and I would like to do some oil mods, but i'm still not sure which ones are most effective. I will check out MRL's pump and see what he thinks is so special about it. if I like I just might buy one, but it will have to be something very different. thanks for all your thoughts guys. its been helpful
