But most responses to this question have included suggestions regarding
changes to key leading or action geometry. I would suggest that if DW was
a "pretty even 52 grams" and then "two weeks later, the weight was back
over 60 grams" the solution will be found in regulating friction. The source
of such DW changes necessarily excludes issues of key leading and/or action
geometry - unless, of course, these factors are changing over the course
of two weeks.</font> <font face="Arial">Terry Farrell</font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>-</font></font></blockquote>
<p><br>Terry, since we have no UW measurements to compare with DW, we dont
really know just whats happening. Admitedly friction is a reasonable first
guess when all we have is the information above, but actions are strange
things. If seen this kind of thing as well, and found on a few occasions
that friction levels were normal with the high DW reading, and bringing
downweight down 10 grams brought friction levels to lower then acceptable
levels. I've also found on occasion that you can run into the situation
where friction control from a << lube job>> perspective is not stable
and friction will rise to origional levels again rather quickly.
<p>Unless we know what the friction levels actually are, we are better
off asscertaining them then shooting in the dark. I think I know you well
enough to know that if this was your action sitting in your shop... you'd
start double checking exactly these kinds of things before spraying Mclube
all over the place :) This lack of data is why some of us raise the
possiblity of weight or ratio concerns being in the picture. Ergo, David
Love, and myself both asked for more information in order to better address
the question.
<p>M' pappy used to say... the easy way is always the hard way.
