Bad machine work or am i over looking something?

OK here's the scoop!

I had my glass cut, 320 wet-n-dry sand paper in hand.... thinking to my self.....that dam cap just needs to move over........why won't it move over........pull the two studs out and installed to different ones.........Wooo Hoooo crank turn free and i has end play!!!!!!!!
And i didn't/don't have .002 end play, I have .005" end play. Why.....because i had a 2 and 2.5 thou feeler gauges stuck together:banghead:
Thanks to every one for your help!:thumblef:
