Dumbo The Flying Elephant

In mixing and matching the bearing shells the SOT (Stupid Oldman Trick) bit me in the butt. Old folks should not try to do any work in their head, there is no room, it is full of useless information. Long story short I put the wrong shells in the caps and the clearances were way off. After disassembling I miked the shells and replaced thick ones with thinner ones and everything looks like it might work. We will know on dyno day.

Thanks Mr JR and Mr Byrd
