I took my new (to me) Pearl Export set apart to deep clean and put all new heads on. It's all clean and ready to go back together. I have done some things but is there anything else I should do as I build? Any tips would be useful to make it sound as good as possible.. Here's what I have so far..
Sanded all the bearing edges perfectly smooth (500 grit)
Tightened all lugs and hardware in shells
Got stainless washers for all tension rods
Going to barely oil the tension rods threads as I install
Verified all hoops/rims are straight and in good shape
Lubed all hinge points on pedals
Anything else before I get at it?
Thanks in advance.
