I was in the same situation last week and found this thread on FALFiles. I bought the faucet seat grinder/reseater tool from Amazon but haven't used it yet.

I plan to do it this weekend, it's on the barrel that came with the Sarco kits. BTW, the faucet tool was less than $12 last week on Amazon but I see they jumped to $28!!!. I think HomeDepot had them for ~$14.

It worked fine just slow going. Went from approximately 11:00 to 7:00 hand tight (LH threads). It should crank down the rest of the way with a wrench and wind up perfect. The only thing I would mention is to use the 1/2 inch cutting wheel on the surface that seats against the muzzle. I shaved a bit off the larger “ledge” before I realized my mistake.

You may not need to shave anything if you're between 7 - 8 o'clock. I'm using GunPlumbers guild to build this (my first FAL) and it says hand tight to within 10 - 12 degrees of 6:00 should time it perfectly. I actually may have taken a little too much off bringing it down to ~7:00.
