Hi David, the OAL sounds fine.

Do keep in mind what I said about checks. I asked you to do the checks, not rely on the smith. A smith can have a lot on his mind and little things can go amiss. But things can also go amiss when you strip and reassemble during routine maintenance. I want you to familiarize yourself with this.

You would have a better understanding of these matters if you had a copy of the book series and were currently using the accurizing book steps. Other forum members who are reading this thread will know what I mean, this type of situation has been fairly common in the past.

In any case, hopefully all is well with the rig.

Keep at it.
