Not to sure, the whole rotating assembly was balanced, anything to do with that? I'll be on the phone tomorrow with shop to see. How do most guys check clearances, with bearings dry or a light film of lube? I don't think torquing dry would be good? I put a miniscule film on top bearing and and nothing on cap bearing. I also have .008" play at thrust bearing.
I checked all my rod bearings today and I have .001" to .00125 clearance on those. Too tight as well. Torqued to 63 ft/lbs as per Eagle specs.
I have only had 2 pistons in at once at the most because I have clearance issues at the Stud girdle and rod bolt to bottom of cylinder, not all but I need to do some clearancing yet. But with 2 (no rings) in I can turn the crank super easily, no binding or seeming tight with the thou of clearance I measured.
