Use a table ban saw to hack off the 340 piston crown .

$120 for bearing spacers? Just to cradle the crank in a 360 and take measurements. Get real. One time use and then I will probably be stuck with em. I don't spend that kind of cash just to take a simple measurement....I guess everyone out there likes there cash as water through there fingers...hope none of you are trustees to financial responsibilitys.

You do understand that the difference between an engine that runs for 100k miles and one that blows up instantly comes down to 0.001" or less of too much or too little bearing clearance... Right? Do you realize just how small of a distance that is? That's why you don't use a soft compressible material like freaking chewing gum or wood to set your bearings in for measuring. This is beyond amateur hour man, you're the one who needs to "get real."
