Yes, I agree that the mics are the best way to go.  What we were trying to 
detemine was the need to pull the crank.  As it turned out, the crank needs 
to go to the shop and be ground .010/.010.  The decision now is how far to go 
with the engine.  John and I do the work free for members of the club.  When 
it gets pretty involved, we give the option to the owner as to what to do.
