Well I'm hoping my measuring is off. I cleaned the hell outta the bottom end and plastigaged 1-5 mains. Coffee filters worked great. Took a lot of cleaning to get the filters clean.
Here' what I got.
#1 .038"
#2 .051"
#3 .051"
#4 .038"
#5 .038"
Installed dry. Original bolts (best I can tell). Didn't install windage tray which only affects #2 &4 anyway.
Hand snugged all caps starting at #3 main and working outwards alternating end to end. 25 to start, then 60 then ending at 85.
Both the bearing half and the main journals themselves are fairly consistent BUT way off. Obviously I'm going to redo/recheck. Any ideas? Some pics.
Oh bearings are Ertel. 5M540P-020
