if the sound was there BEFORE Ash started tuning it on the dyno? Seems like an obvious question to me. I mean, bearings don't just crack in half for fun. They are usually coaxed into doing it.
Obviously this implies that Ash coaxed the damage on the dyno. Come on.
"So before everyone throws a ticker tape parade for Ash for "saving the day", why don't you fools find out if he put it in need of saving in the first place?" This is throwing a ticker parade about as much as someone posting a goddamn box shot from Coz. I see no difference, other than people's bias.
