Pat.. you hit the nail squarely... I took the engine apart today to send everything in to be checked again, and for the hell of it pulled out my rubber tipped blow gun and didnt have to go past the first journal.. I blocked off the other hole and blew air into it, and the air blew right out through the lightening hole in the end of the journal... Talk about feeling like an idiot... I would never have checked this if you hadnt posted it... THANK YOU!!!!! Time to get another crank ordered and get this thing OUT of my shop!!!!!
