I'd also check the motor shaft to make sure it didn't get bent...

I'd agree with above, really high temps will be tougher on the bearings and slipper pads. I'd guess 200*...

It'll all come down to who can control the paint. Perk/KG/Sheed all have to have a presence in there. Limit LA's second chance opportunities (what they did in games 4/5), and they should put...
