Bad machine work or am i over looking something?

I tried it both ways. First with hitting the crank, and pry on it. 2nt with the cap its self. cap didn't move either way. The studs seam to fit the cap better then bolts. a standard bolt is .445" in diamitor and then at the vary top, next to the head, it grows to .496" my new studs are .496 all the way through.

Take the crank out and fit the thrust bearing in it, check clearance with feeler gauge.
Studs need clearance to the caps- they cannot fit tight or they will bind up the cap and **** the thrust. You also need to line hone the mains when converting to studs as it loads the caps and block differently. Do not be wailing away on anything with a BFH please!
