[BaadAssGremlins] Mobile machine shops

["Tom McKenna" <traveler@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe - You are correct - l lived in a small community growing up, and it 
was quite common for the automotive machine shop in the city to come 
out and put in sleeves, valve seats, and also turn cranks - they had a 
machine that would turn a rod journal right in the car, as long as you 
could get the engine high enough to get the pan off.  Not sure if it 
did the mains or not, but I know it did the rods, as we drove Kaisers, 
and they were notorious for throwing bearings - we had journals turned 
several times this way.
