Thanks for sharing on such a classic build.

The number 2 3 4 mains hone faster than the number 1 and 5, I turned the oil off to break the hone stones down more on the middle of the mandrel. Not sure on how much the center line was moved, but I cut the caps .003 on 1 and 5 and .005 on the 2 3 4 main caps.
