    VERY cool. But at 2:00 in, doesn't it look like the crank is wobbling a bit?

    Looks to me like it's wobbling A LOT!! and the left end base journal is also not 'true'. Of course, that's more cylinders than the previous ones. Maybe they straighten the wobble after the journals are polished? No idea, but it certainly looks weird.

    must be deformation due to the heat. Looks like after the item cools it's reasonably true again.

    Nothing like a hot steamy video to hold a man’s attention. Pretty cool.

    Talent usually ends up in front, but fun goes from the front of the grid all the way to the back.
