But everything else going in was going to be new., so for peace of mind, I went with all new. Thanks for your input though. I appreciate the advice.
Ah, OK. That makes complete sense then. And If I were changing pinions I would likely do the same. Just seems like you might have been able to save one "R" in the "R+R" process if you just swapped all things new in there but I guess the next one will be easier eh?
