I would like to rescind my original opening comments in regard to my crank rod journal measurement issues:
In my original post of the above name, I have deleted the section where I made reference to a "Board Sponsor" having just polished the crank that I was having problems measuring. It was not meant to be a criticism, nor an attack of their credibility. They did fine work, and in no way made any mistakes whatsoever.
After receiving some good practical measuring instructions from a board regular who instructed me to practice with the standard in learning to feel .0001 measurements. I realized I did not get one with the micrometer I purchased. I ordered one, and last night went about realizing I have made a terrible, and unexcusable mistake. My brand new micrometer was 2+ tenths, roughly, off. My measurements were flawed, and incorrect.
The only problem with the measurements was the idiot with the micrometer. The Board Sponsor did a terrific job !!!.
I apologize for any misrepresentation, or indirect accusation on my part that may have been misconstrued.
I meant no disrespect and owe the Sponsor MUCH in the way of apologies. A.
