Ok, that's part of the problem. No way in HELL would I go back and work with another shops machine work. Absolutely no way. Now I get why Hughes wanted to start over. Just because someone does something doesn't mean I do it that way. I see guys spend a bunch of time and money on oiling mods that doesn't do anything. And that's just a start.

I won't touch another shops work.

Now your OP makes sense. I would do it Hughes way myself. I'd tell you I'll start over or not do it.
