Default TCT Repair help

Need help working on TCT and wanted to have it sand blasted vs replacing with a new part. Can any one help me with this maybe some time early next month in exchange for a case of beer of your choice?

Can't help you with this. However, if you are going to keep the car for a while, I would recommend replacing the TCT with the one from IP (Inline Pro). I went throught two OEM TCTs (not modified) and they did not last long. Then I got the IP TCT and it was still good at the time I traded in the car a year later - plus, they have really addressed the real problem with the OEM TCT and they provide a lifetime warranty.

I replaced mine with a new OEM one, I was thinking about sandblasting mine, but it's just smarter and less stressful buying/replacing with a nice new one. It has a pin in it ready to pull... rather than you having to setup the old one

When i did mine, I just sanded it with a red scuff pad. No sandblasting bullshit. Worked fine. New owner of my car reports the TCT just started making noise again. So it looks like that repair lasted about 2 years.

Sanding down the piston with 40 gritt did the trick for me.
