Another answer is to use the yellow Timesaver to bed in the offending bearing. The yellow Timesaver will remove material from soft metal but not the crankshaft. Bring the torque up a little at a time while using the yellow Timesaver and turning the crankshaft over. When done, clean out all the Timesaver.
