Larry, I didn't see your question. I feel your machinist set up your
bearings to tight. I haven't looked anything up, but my recollection is
the recommended clearance is 0.0018 to 0.003. I think 0.002 to 0.0025
would be more in line. My present engine will be 0.0025 all the way
across.
My personal preference on bearings is Clevite 77. They are Tri-metal
bearings, similar to those that were made by Vandervel (who I believe is
no longer in business).
So what is your question?
