In other words,"if it ain't broke,don't try to fix it".

Nothing is being replaced, this is a fresh build coming together and since I need a new pump I figured it get an alum one since the price is right and since this is a BB dart (65 dart 451 ) any (especially front)weight reduction will help however small AND with all the prior 440source bashing that has transpired on here I want to buy one of their parts and find out myself which (if good) will (hopefully) motivate me to save/scrimp for a set of stealths live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

No need to slam anyone for it. if you look close, theres still some communist sand in there. Democratic sand would have worked much better IMHO. I can say that becouse I aquired a set of the product in question.

I will get a zinc sacrificial anode that screws into one of the cooling ports & they are cheap & said to be beneficial. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
