For everyone's viewing pleasure, the "after pic" of the feather grinding. She's one smoooooth roller now. If you are curious as to how I knew where to stop my feathering of the "damage area" it's because I marked the sidewalls of the wheel with a grease pencil to keep me on track as to the center of the damage, knowing the soapstone marks would disappear during the refurb.

Now I just have to find the smaller, vertical bypass oil filter the manual says it has. The manual has a nice close up pic of it, but I can't find it on the engine.
