I checked them all out very very well and the locks are completely in the grooves. They are, as you say Cab, tripple wound spirolocks. But, i use that Torco mpz assy lube and it is very hard to determine how much endplay is there with that stuff. But i can see some slightest movement of the pin. So i guess its good. I use it sparingly, but with such tight clearances, most of it gets pushed out when installing the pin. Wiping the excess away to install the locks still leaves some. So it’s not dry and loose to clearly see endplay.

Its just something i was thinking about, as i’d hate to lose a motor to something like this, like GtxMatt’s buddy. Thx for the replies.
