Goofy Thrust Bearing Gaps

Stroker416 and furrystump are both on here;
1) get a mic and check the overall width, thrust-face to thrust-face on both shells in 4-5 places, and check the thickness of all 4 thrust faces the same. If they are spot on....
2) use the OE bolts and repeat setting/seating procedure for the thrust bearings & re-check, same results or OK? If so, You may need to clearance the bolt holes in the cap(s)
to prevent the stud shoulders from pushing the cap(s).
