TIG price too good to be true?

Wow, it did lock up solid. Sounds like a dead oil pump if everything seized at once, probably while running 90 on the freeway.

Grok that. When I was attending my first tech school ('72 in Phoenix, UTI) I worked for a used car dealer. His full-time mechanic was a shadetree guy. The first time I saw him put a crank in a block was the last. When he dipped that rod bearing in pure STP, my jaw hit the ground. I cautioned him (kid in school to a seasoned mechanic) about STP not being a lubricant and that there should be no lube on the back of the bearing surface whatsoever. He must have listened to me for the rest of the build, because only taht one bearing spun as the new customer got to Iowa or some godforsaken state in the Midwest. Maybe he recently got a job in Portland...

I plastigage and assembly-lube all my bearings, thanks. One side only, too.

The NoteSHADES are packaged and will be on their way today, BTW.
