I've opened up 3 VFCs lately and their AoE is really good to start with, if you sorbo it, you definitely need a new cylinder head and to remove the rubber pad. the stock cylinder head has the rubber pad really well bonded to it and you'll probably not be able to get the pad off without mangling it or the cylinderhead itself.

the clear piston in VFCs are garbage, change it out when you are in the gearbox with a steel rack one properly adjusted for AoE.

The stock airseal is really good, you don't really need to touch it.

If you leave the stock motor and gears in it and use a reasonable battery (and possibly add a mosfet) it does well enough. I'm not a fan of self shimming gears since even a shitty aeg motor can easily compress those shitty little shimming springs. I don't think they do much at all... just a gimmick. Why the gears don't shred is because they seem to have thicker teeth than a standard set, so even with a shit shim job they have more contact surface area than a replacement gearset.
