Well, the fact that Thomas said he was confused made me think again
about the machine shop. I said to myself, I wonder if they are confused as
well? Our original conversation I was told it was the main bearings(plural) that were going to be messed up. Called yesterday and said " They don't make
such a thing as ball bearings that are undersized. He said no we need bearing
inserts for the rod. WHAT? After letting him know that the rod is the bearing
that attaches to the crank. He told me he led me down the wrong road.
Which in turn means I led you guys down the wrong road. Thank you all for
letting me know how things get all messed up communication wise.
I see a couple good things that came from this mess.
1) I learned a whole bunch of stuff I did not know. Thank you all
2) I still have a good crank, although now it needs ground to .010,
for the connecting rod that is.
Had to laugh at your thought on the Mars missions George. I thought to
myself . "But I expect the Gubment to screw it up, not the local
guys" It did cheer me up.
I hope this post isn't confusing.

Ken
