    My budget right now is probably only $200 but I'd be willing to save for a while to get something better. And welding my sliders on, building a bed rack, working on a M416.. etc

    To keep costs down, I would start prowling craigslist and local newspaper adds, you would be surprized what shows up in yard and estate sales. I have seen good stuff go for cheap out of desperation. Plan on spending around $500 used. And trust me on being patient and getting better stuff to start with.

    hes saying jump around that way it helps control distortion. if you put to much heat in one spot it will start to deform the metal.

    Cheap insurance. Oil breaks down with heat and heat can creat pressure build up in enclosed spaces. Drain and let it vent heat...then refill w/ new good fluid.

    This I know, but again...It's all part of the "cheap insurance" concept. You CAN do it with fluid stll in there, but draining it gives you some benefits.
