Just to let you know we finally got the thing together and getting ready to start it. We were in a sea of confusion when you appeared on the scene. Everybody swore that the early crankshaft was the problem and needed to be changed, citing wider mains. Someone changed the bearings in 1950, and they were indeed wider, but all they did was hang out in mid-air because they were wider than the saddles. In our studies, there were no differences in the rod and main journals between the old and new crankshafts. When you provided the info on the connecting rods, our troubles were over. We had the rods honed out .020", had the crank ground undersize to C-113 specs and used C-113 bearings. I did find out later that all engines under WS-1886 had available a field change package using a 30926DBX connecting rod. Ours still had the original rods. Thanks for your help.
