Make sure you don't have any burrs on the line bore job that are making the shells sit high. I'd take it all apart and re-inspect/clean the bearing mount surfaces.

The problem you have now is...

[QUOTE=MER Performance;3881862]Yes, you do need an extra .0005" at #5 due to the width of the journal. I would give you clearances; I use for specific applications But; it leaves an open door for...

It doesn't, you guys are right. My brain fart and thanks for correcting it. Funny a while back when I was having my engine machinist line bore a block he said the same thing about pushrods and I...
