SEE UNS HOW WE CANNOT SEE AND FEEL YOUR PROBLEM

I REALLY URGE YOU TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTOMOTIVE MACHINE SHOP FOR A "BETTER LOOKING AT"

. AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO CHUCK IT UP INTO A MACHINE WHICH THEY POLISH CRANKSHAFT AND OTHER JOURNALS IN. THEY WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE A "BELT SANDER LIKE TOOL" THAT ALONG W/ POLISHING ROUGE AND DO A MUCH NICER JOB THAN YOU COULD DO
