When does one decide a case has to be align bored? I have a GC case that I am getting ready to take to the shop to check for register collapse but have no idea what the criteria might be to consider align boring.
Thanks in advance! |

Put the case together, torque the fasteners, measure the roundness of the bearing seats. If you don't have the tools or skills to do that, take it to a machine shop that can. As others have said, good luck finding bearings to fit, so if it is required find the bearings BEFORE you have it bored.
