measured the crank journals for roundness and all are out by very little.
#1 .0005 #2 .0012 #3 .0007 #4 .0003
After fitting rods best I can with the shims I have and after scraping bearings all will move side to side. #2 rotates smoothly in all positions. #!, 3, and 4 all rotate free but each has a sticky spot where it takes a bit more than the weight of the rod to move. All have a tad more than .001 clearance except for the sticky spot. Adding a 3 ounce weight to the rod and it will rotate passed the sticky spot on it own. Is this "close enough" for old T's??
