The Ford Barn - View Single Post - semi finish bearings / resizeable bearings / full floater

JWL has a good point. Maybe a good approach would be to create the fixture and then use some .001 or so shim stock all around the outside of the bearing - to simulate oil and clearance. I'm just talking out loud. If it was me, I'd find a replacement 59x or 8BA crankshaft and not screw with it (but he already knows that part from me! LOL)
