It's easier than you think. First, you whack off a few hundredths from the
mating surfaces of the caps, i.e.
_____ _____ <--- shave here

then, reassemble the lot. The actual openings for the bearings are now
*smaller* than original, so the line-boring can then make a perfectly
straight, originally-sized bore.
Alternatively, you can just shim them up with aluminum foil held in place
with epoxy.
