And the cause of the oil leak. The rear main had spun and compacted itself so there was a one inch gap in the rope seal, in the cap area.

I used Plastigage and checked the oil clearances on the rods and mains and they were .002. I also checked end play and side clearances and they were in spec as well.

After comparing with some stock rods I had in the garage, it turns out those are stock cast rods with the side beams polished.

I needed to do something after being stuck in the dark for 12 days!

Steve,

I thought when you captioned the photo "The Crank", we would see you.

Seriously, I hope your power stays on for good.
