Finally some positive progress...

Got the crank in the block with all the bearing clearances the best that this engines had since the first build (fighting bad machine work ever since). The rest of the short should go together ok .... not saying will to jinx the rest of the build.

Dithered around for a few hours getting the crank set up on the mill to cut a keyway for the damper. First time I had to index a crank on the mill an it took some head scratch to sort out the method. Next one will be easier.
