what ever you do, make sure your sleeve is really worn out if you want a medium pinch. Other wise go with a light pinch. Looks like it might take me a gallon to break in this sleeve. Ray did awsome work, but the sleeve i sent was just starting to "barely" lose compression. My next pinches will be light pinches for sure. My sleeve was probably in better shape then i thought.
After a quart it is still sticking at the top. I keep heat cycling and running it and it is taking a while. Hope i don't stretch my new rod.
