Bobcat Your right on what the good old boys do down in the nascar racing country. Yea I said country. Still today there are guys down there that can teach motor machine work to the best that advertise in todays magazines. Off set rods, the honda bearings and the list goes on. Gessford gets all there cranks about .003 over and does the final in house polishing and grinding for each motor. Basicly every crank is a custom fit to the rod and bearing for that surface. I have talked to Neil and the time it takes to do just this part of assembly is long and a pain. The bottom line is in the end the motor speaks for the company and the customers are happy. Gessford policy is that they don't hone, shave, or polish bearings to get the right clearance. I can't say the same for my motors. I have cheated in the past and 2 are still running today. It's amazing what 2 part epoxy can do and hold togeather. This was done on my own motors, not others. Have a good one Bob
