u/EvenCombination2208

How unusual is it for my crank play to be only like .0005 and my bearing clearance with the plastiguage to be .002 too loose. The plastiguage is barely touched at all. I thought I would need the thicker bearings but I see they only come in sizes by .01 increments (which is way more than I need.) I thought I would maybe need to get the .01 and sand them down by .008 but that seems off. I figure I’ll have to sand down the rear thrust bearing by a few thousandths to fix the endplay. I torqued everything to spec as far as I know. (65ft-lbs for outer bolts and 70 for inner) I also applied some oil to the bolts before torquing down for more accurate reading. I’d appreciate any tips as this is the first engine rebuild I’ve ever done.
