.003” of cock creates .003” of pinch and that’s all there was for the needed bearing to cam clearance.
Did you use a cone type installer, or the puller type?
What part number bearings did you get and was the box open when you got it?

I am unable to even get it started into the first bearing. I used a cone type installer. I set the bearings so they were perfectly inline with the oil holes, they appear straight. Part number on the new bearings is Clevite SH292S - unopened
