Well a rather annoying twist in the tale. Installed the crank the other day after completing all pre assembly prep. Everything seemed ok bar a slight bit of clearancing needed on the girdle plate. Took everything off and found a whopper of a scratch on one of my main bearings. Annoyed doesn’t come close!
I know the block and crank were crystal clean so I can only assume that my old pot of assembly lube had become contaminated with a bit of grit or who knows what. What are the odds?!?
So, yet again, a thorough clean of block and crank before sealing away on clean bags while I await new bearings to arrive….. and a NEW bottle of assembly lube by @torcousa via @nimbusmotorsport

Four guys who worked together always golfed as a group at 7:00 a.m. on
Sunday. Unfortunately, one of them got transferred out of town and they
were
talking about trying to fill out the foursome.
A woman standing near the tee said, "Hey, I like to golf, can I join the
group?"
They were hesitant, but said she could come once to try it and they could
see what they thought. They all agreed and she said, "Good, I'll be there
at 6:30 or 6:45."
She showed up right at 6:30, and wound up setting a course record with a
7-under par round. The guys went nuts and everyone in the clubhouse
congratulated her. Meanwhile, she was fun and pleasant the entire round.
The guys happily invited her back the next week and she said, "Sure, I'll
be
here at 6:30 or 6:45." Again, she showed up at 6:30 Sunday morning. Only
this time, she played left-handed, and matched her 7-under par score of the
previous week.
By now the guys were totally amazed, and they asked her to join the group
for keeps. They had a beer after their round, and one of the guys asked
her,
"How do you decide if you're going to golf right-handed or left-handed?"
She said, "That's easy. Before I leave for the golf course, I pull the
covers off my husband, who sleeps in the nude. If his member is pointing
to
the right, I golf right-handed; if it's pointed to the left, golf
left-handed."
One of the guys asked, "What if it's pointed straight up?"
She said, "Then I'll be here at 6:45."
