    ... If you knurl the o.d. and only do this to pick up a couple of thou, with a light knurl. Iwould use green, sleeve retainer, Locktite. Don't worry too much about the next guy. Hey, it might even be you.

    Just remember that if you knurl the OD, it will require a one off guide the next time because the knurl going in AND coming out will wreck the guide bore in the head. But I'm sure you already thought of that. Ray.
