Goofy Thrust Bearing Gaps

Building a 318 mag for turbo boost. Had the thrust bearing go out on the previous crank in this block. I added main cap studs. Took measurements for them and they checked out ok - no need for a line bore/hone. Installed the crank and checked the thrust bearing gap. Problem is that I have a total of .007” gap which is ok. But that is only on one side. The other side I only get .005” Even if I rotate crank 180*, I get the same measurents on the same side of the bearing. So the crank is true but the bearing is sitting crooked. Tried multiple times of removing and resetting, torquing the cap and bearing but no dice, won’t become true. Any ideas?
