![Doh! :doh:](./images/smilies/doh.gif)
First set of bearings were Clevites. Plastigauge showed clearance just under 0.003". Remeasuring with an inside mic and micrometer confirmed clearances between 0.0026" and 0.003".
I could get by with that clearance if I added a high volume oil pump, but I don't want to go that route. So I sprung for the bearings.
With the 0.001" undersize bearings, I'm a hair under 0.002" on all the mains.... right where it should be. Didn't get the extra 0.001" over the Clevites.
Rod journals were fine at approx 0.018" clearance. Rod side clearance is 0.015" and main journal run out was nice with the worst being two end journals under 0.0005"
Thought I'd post this in case anyone else has a similar issue....
