I've found that my best pondering happens when I don't try to ponder. I just set the thought in my head and let it rattle around for a bit while I do other things.
As long as I had Mini Me on the bench I decided to move ahead with the other "new purchase" inspection checks.
Timing: good with the lockup happening right at the end of the hammer stroke. Within spec but right at the edge of being late. We'll have to watch that one.
Ejector rod: straight within .002". Don't mess with what isn't broken.
Yoke alignment: good, no adjustment needed.
Rear gauge: within spec, but towards the large end.
Cylinder gap and endplay: Hmmmm. Found something here.
Gap without wedge: .011"
Gap with wedge: .007"
Endplay: .004"
The pondering bell started going off inside my head, but I decided to just let things keep rattling around inside there for a bit.
