I am not going to spread AS5 in my previous testing this did nothing....

I did a short thin line, about 2 grains of rice long and as thick as a toothpick, installed HSF and twisted it back and forth a couple degrees 2-3 times to grind the AS5 into the crevices and get it to spread.

This was about my 5th time installing the AS5, and I think my best. Previous attempts on unlapped parts needed 2-3x that much AS5 to fill the gaps.
