Brian, did you happen to mic the bearing shell to see if it was a fluke, maybe too much coating, it's been known to happen with a bearing being tight in a set,even un coated one's, thats why we check them, lookin' good so far.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I did not check that. You have me curious now though and I will take a second look. I just seen the relatively large difference in clearance and didn't think about it possibly being in the coating.

if it is an odd ball then clevite should replace it.

Man I hope I don't let you down... Looks nice
You are one of the few that haven't let me down. Superior workmanship and attention to details. Can't say enough good things about your work or ports. It won't be much longer and you will have your answers as to how well this port works on my stuff.
I just hope that I did the heads justice by making everything else "right" under them.

Its good to see it going back together. I hope we get hooked up this fall.Are you going to the dyno before running it? If so where?
No dyno. It is in the "dyno" now.
Hope to get together at a race soon. Let me know when you are travelling this direction to run.
