Going by ' hunches' can cost a lot of money....and at some levels can ruin things which are perfectly fine right now...

I know you're right. Gotta invest in the tools if I want to do it right the first time. I was just a litte surprised that the low side pressure was still where it should have been. Had it been down around 20 I would have felt comfortable adding another can. I spent very, very little on this car. Just hate to invest all that money on tools I will likely not use again.
