While you have the box open, you should also correct your angle of engagement. It can be done a number of ways, there's plenty of threads and videos on it.
Yeah I read up on making sure you start at bevel to pinion and go from there, some say start in the middle which just sounds rediculous to me from a mechanical stand point.

As far as AoE, ill read up on it more but i believe its something along the lines of adding sorbo pads or something of the like to the back of your cylinder head, making your piston sit father back and taking off some teeth? I'm likely slighty off with that explanation but again, ill look up on that too...thanks. I'm assuming the bushings don't come glued in place either so I might look into using a JB Weld or something to lock em in.

Anything else anyone can think of to take look at while I have it cracked open? I found some pretty detailed threads on Airsoft Society and here that seem pretty reliable so I'll just follow those as best as possible.

By the same reasoning, my car's gastank is "rated" for 40L, so I should be able to magically force 10% more gas in for 44L.
