Precision Machine Oil - 27 cycles

1 more cycle over i think infinite runs (warmup), different way of doing things:

How'd you shave the extra cycle? I re-created this solution buy can't break 28 cycles. The problem is the rail / grippers on the right side need to place first, but because of the extra pause, I end up having 2 parts that begin with a pause. Unfortunately I can only place 1 period override.

I can fix this by shifting everything by 1 cycle, but that gets me to 28.
