This post catches up to the present.
The engine is finally back from the machiene shop.
They told Kevin the crank would have to be ground at least .040" and more likely .050" so he bought bearings to suit both posibalities, it came back ground to .030" so he is ordering more bearings now.

Thanks for sharing these Robert.

I'm really enjoying them. Nothing like an unfolding story I reckon.

Should be doing more of this myself except my hands are usually too greasy and filthy to pick up a camera.
