had installed a new set of h/s/f. He also proceeded to spray the tops =

too.
That resulted in many centers being too tight, 2 or 3 swings. =
Before
repinning, I though I would try a little Protec. The result was a very =
loose
center, with about 12 -14 swings. Now I had to ream and repin. What a
pain.<BR><BR>Another good reason to use products judiciously. I have =
sprayed
the tops of new wippens with graphite, but only after taping off the =
flanges,
and the rest of the wippen. The only thing exposed is the top of the =
jack, and
the wippen on either side of the jack. This guy sprayed the top 2" of =
the
wippens. They were the original ones, too, not even new ones. I don't =
know why
he did this. <BR><BR>Wim </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
