My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

All you need is a dial gauge and set the crank on #1 & #7 journals. I don't have v blocks that big, so I'm using the block and a new bearing shell in 1&7 only so the rest of the journals can spin free and clear. Not as convenient as working in the open, but it gives repeatable results. I used my new dial gauge with .0001" increments to double check, and found that there's about a .0002" margin of error (which means my rear seal runout is still over .0006" out of spec). If you don't have a upside down block, I imagine you could always cut some v blocks out of hard wood.
