You need to read the article written by the late Jem Marsh of Speedex fame, for the explanation of the cause and remedy for centre main distortion of three bearing crankcases. If you cannot find the Jem Marsh explanation, send me an email jonniejumble@googlemail.com, and I will send you an article I produced for SWA7C, based on Jem's original work. John
