Re: Engine knocking like a p'd off woodpecker

hello, hello, hello.....Must be an echo. Anyways, I have a master plan after I finally do get my crank out. i don't want to spend upwards of $500 to have my crank turned. So I plan to build a jig to grind it myself. I figure if I let the mains ride on my v-joint, it will be stable enough to spin with my HD drill. I figure a nice sanding belt will get the rod bearing nice and smooth. I think I will be the first one to create this thing. But I guess if my mic reads good, that's all that matters, right? Anyways, wish me luck, as I first need to get the thing out of there without yanking the engine.
