I have a small block with a -.010" crankshaft and the corresponding +.010" main bearings. However. I have a couple of locations where the main bearing clearance is up to and slightly over .003" so I'm hoping to find some +011" bearings to dial-in the clearance. I understand King Bearing used to have these and maybe Mopar Performance but I've found nothing available through my initial searches. I appreciate any help you can provide.
 
I as well l have run into that and had to turn crank 20/20 as I no longer could find
11 under bearings.

You should have .010 bearings, not +.010 and you are probably screwed.

I’d run it at .003ish long before I tried to run it at .002ish unless your block is an aftermarket piece and you don’t run a stock damper.

Send it.
 
I'll be confirming current clearances today and will also check run-out on the crankshaft.
 
BTW, AFAIK, and from what I’ve seen, there is now no such thing as a hard backorder date.

They are all squishy. That BO date could be bumped another 60 days in the blink of an eye.

BTDT.

Just an FYI
 
The good news is that if I need to make any changes I'd be going in this direction rather than the one above. This one is through Summit and is shipped directly from King Bearing: King XP-Series Rod Bearings CR 805XPN 011
