Good luck. LOL sounds like the sort of machine shop I used to work for, bunch of :jack they were.
Yours truly used to have to try and explain to the frustrated customer why they weren't going to get what we'd promised faithfully to have done on time.
What was the outcome of the problem you thought you had with the crank oiling?

The crank and cases are now happily married.
I'm praying they don't want a divorce again ?!!

Ok mate,I'm not an expert but this works for me. I think you are almost there.
I click on the 'share ' button on top of the picture,this then opens to an option page,I then click the ' Get link code' radio button. I then highlite the 'IMG for bulletin boards & forums' address and copy it. If you then paste this address into the relevent place in your past it should automatically display
as in
If you compare the coding on my pic you'll notice it starts & ends with (img) so it looks as if you are picking the wrong code to automatically open.
