I not only reread your posts on this thread but read most of your posts on the forum and the impression that I got was---well, maybe I shouldn't go there--I believe if my reading comprehension is in need of a tuneup--that quite possibly you should be in the writing class across the hall.
Still I would like to see the location of all posters listed--I still don't know where your located.
Slick--modern engine work is done with micrometers, dial bore guages, etc. not plastigauge--I haven't had a piece of plastic guage around anything I've worked on in over 30 years--however,I have had people come to me with cranks, blocks and rods that they had checked with plastic guage and thought their clearances were off(generally tight) where we took mics to check the crank size and setting fixtures to set dial bore guages to verify the bearing clearances.The plastic guage is at the very best, extremely inaccurate. If you wanted to double check my work, I would not be upset, but it would elevate my opinion of you as wanting to have it right.( I'd do the same)
John--If I wasn't so busy, I'd come out there to give you a hand, but My son Corey has jury duty for a few weeks on a murder trial and I can't get away-maybe we can find someone near you to help--What is the capability of the shop that told you about your low pressure-can they help?
