Pancho, The feelings you have "vented" are shared by MANY on this forum, myself included. I have been hanging around here since 2011 and its only got worse over the years. These "one post wonders" do not put forth any real effort and do not provide us with any details. If we press them to...

You would be looking for a new crank, new rod, or both... Michael
