funny what .005 will do....
when I was a kid my Dad did auto repair on the side and a guy had him install a reman engine in his Ford. My Dad wanted to rebuild the old engine but the customer insisted it would be quicker...! The job probably would have been quicker but the rebuilder ground the crank mains .005 off center. Started OK but idled rough, when you revved it up the entire car shook so bad the instruments were a blurr. Dial indicator on the flywheel told the story. I still remember how PO'd he was when the rebuilder told him they were only going to exchange the crank and bearings.
Ahhh, boring old stories...now to install my engine...!!!
