"mic" - short for micrometer **************** CamZH, the flat surface on the block that the caps are bolted on in the second picture, the surface that HAS TO BE perfectly flat & clean- those shiny spots that are around the bolt hole look to me like bits that have been scraped off of the back of the bearing. i've only gotten them when i've replaced bearings with the crank in place/not removed. i can be wrong!
