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.
