It is very unusual for Tom to wash his hands of a poster.
I am sure he is right. That IP was not only a server Ip it was the complete full IP to the computer making the posts. I can re-boot mine or change the IP by rotation and the front numbers will be the same, but the last digits will change even with the same computer on the same server. Dude every swinging number is the same. You didn't even re-boot to change users.
OK Here it is for the benefit of all who read that are either posting or not posting.
Rule of thumb only;
Steel Rod side clearance to block, or cam = .035
Aluminum Rod side clearance to block or cam = .060
Crank side clerance or rotating clearance to block, rods, pistons, = .060
That is my minimums. I usually go for more.
Some builders get by with less. I am writing this. They aren't.
Connecting rod Big End side clearance = Minimum for the pair -.010
Connecting rod Big End side clearance = Maximum for the pair - .020

The status of the member is not set by Tom or Ryann or anyone. It is set by the program according to how many posts you make. It is not and can not be a bassis of how smart you are or how stupid I am.
