It's hard to say, but it didn't look like it's twisting.
Also however, the piston kissed the back plate again. No where near as bad, but I can't imagine any at all is ok.
And... the con rod fit is noticeably looser than what it was. It's getting to the point I'd say, I need to stop and analyze. It looks oblong. Maybe from hitting the plate and pulling up. Maybe my crank pin sucked. Maybe both.
And in addition to all that... the compression is, and has always been terribly low. So should I start over on the crank, but this time also make a rod and piston?
Yes, I already know this is entirely too much work for an obsolete .061. But I'm getting a great experience and a lot of practice.
