The reason i bring this question up is i have been thinking about crank journals being out of round. I think it is possible to mic a journal and miss that it is'nt round. If a journal is out of round but not symetrically out of round i think the mic could still read good. I am wondering if i should have my new crank checked and a dial indicator put on it to check all the journals for round? On a different note, Why do guys take offense to others building there own stuff? If you have to ask questions i think more of that persons intelligence than the guy who thinks he knows it all.
