You added extra clearance. How did you do that? It's "huge" but you don't know what clearance it has? But you are sure it's your issue. You took the time to take it all apart. Then made a change and didn't measure anything? Crack check anything? Put it all back in the car. Uhmm. Doug

I mean come on, you find a massive wiped number 5 main and you're not going to attribute it to a high RPM vibration?... And actually yes I did mag the block and the crank, I found a good deal on a 331 stroker though so none of that is going back in the motor Are you going to measure the clearances on this one? BTW, what bearing clearance does ford recommend?

Is this car m/t or a/t? iapco103 manwell These engines have several variations of flywheel , I suspect that the one you have is incompatible with your crankshaft and this is the source of the vibration and bearing wear. Finding the correct one can trying at the very best. You will need a very patient FoMoCo parts man to help you. Best of luck , iapco103
