Default Re: Reconditioned 37 rods

Found the error in the math I was doing. Clearance now is .001". The spec I found says .0005-.003". Fat fingers on keys.

The question remains that the bearings are egg shaped. When I sized the bearings to get clearance on the ends, the center part of the bearing is too wide and it won't move freely. I am checking this in a vice, not on the crank itself, the side clearance isn't a problem at this stage. I am wondering if sanding the butt ends of the bearing halves where they meet could remedy this.
