I think my 727 is fried. Now I'm at a crossroads...

There is some misinformation in that video. I haven't found a 727 video that I could recommend. They all overlook important issues and usually have misleading advice. He says things in that one that tell me that he is no 727 expert at all. He does make some nice videos, tho.. Get the smooth .061 Red Eagles. Yes probably a spring in the other 727; also get the lower forward pressure plate. And the thick plastic thrust washer can be used to tighten up endplay.
