I made it to the from the 5th to the 2nd main bearing before reaching an issue on the main clearances. I calculated a minimum clearance of 0.0026-0.0027 for the 400 mains. The first 3 were all 30-31 thousandths. This one is measuring 23-24 thousandths. I took it apart and retorqued it, but got the same result. Even more frustrating, the top bearing shell popped loose from the main cap and marked up the lower bearing shell. I’m assuming this now needs to be replaced, which I also assume means a full set. Do I need to go up a size to grant proper clearance? This was align honed…I figure if anything it might be loose.
