You can use an old fashioned bearing scraper or a file or even a sharp knife and dress down the side of the bearing to clear the filet on the crank. I just did this last year when assembling my 383 SBC. The machinist showed me the trick when he sold me the bearings......it takes a little time, but the upside is more bearing material supporting the rod or crank than the thin 'race' bearings supply. YMMV...

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
