Went out and measured the studs, and cap holes. Studs, .497.
Caps, .530 . Plenty of room in all directions, no binding. I looked at # 1 with the dial bore gauge and came up with results that are similar but not as bad. Also the minimum diameter of the # 1 bearing bore is .0005 looser than #3. I wire brushed the cap to clean off the cap walk gunk but it is still out of tolerance in my mind. Think it is time to have this block line honed. What do you guys think? I don't want to spin a bearing.
