Hi Guys

Yes, I've been using plasticgauge the surprising thing is that it is only available in the old line auto stores. One of the chain auto parts places didn’t even know what I was talking about.

Strangely, the noise that I picked up on the tape, sounds for all the world that someone is hitting the engine with a ballbeen hammer can not be heard with a mechanics stethoscope.

I’ve pulled the engine apart discovered the cause of the problem, in the reassembly process I had reversed the order of the rod bearing caps. I’ve re-gauged all the bearings and put them in the proper order.

As the old TV rock and roll shows would say about the tape, "good beat, but no good for dancing"
