Actually I was think what a nice Thanksgiving table arrangement! I do however consider the clear plastic parts bags to clash with the sort of guards-red place settings.

My wife is a first year surgery resident (intern is the technical term), so in other words, the house is mostly mine. I have entire days to clean up before she gets back from work.

Today Ion and I tackled the crank bearing carrier.

Dirty:



Cleaned up:



Old and new crank bearing caps and "thrust washers":



New bearing caps in place:





Crank ready to be installed:




Ready to bolt it down:



Measuring crankshaft end play:





End play was 0.004" = 0.102mm, which is exactly in the middle of the range for a new installation. Awesome!
