Ron, I meant that the checking procedure you used, should be included in any builders checklist.



Leigh, I agree with you. As well, I made some assumptions and so did others right down to the Guy who screwed up the rods and the Guy who shipped them and the owner of the company. But you are never too old to learn. I learned that it would not hurt to measure a few basic things and maybe to only use well established scources with a good reputation for the important stuff.

Like the Bryant Crank. The rod journals vary no more than .0002 from one to another or in any other dimention. And that could easily be microscopic crap on the micrometer anvils.
