[QUOTE="jthops, post: 438860, member: 20901"] The machinist ground the crank and allegedly made sure the bearings/kit had appropriate clearance for the crankshaft. I even asked if I should plastigage, and he said I could if I want, but there was no reason. Since I did all the assembly, I assume there is no warranty on anything other than a failure of a part. I should have plastigaged everything myself. Hard lesson to learn. Maybe by some miracle, I can save it. I'll drop the pan again tomorrow. I really don't want to pull the engine and start over. My daughter has been hoping to have it for the remainder of the summer. [/QUOTE]
