I'd like to know where you found a machine shop that can machine a crank to
1/10 thousandth. I suspect they took 0.010" off. That would be a standard
amount. You'd best talk to the machinist and ask what size bearings you
need to buy to go with your machined crank. Also, check the old bearings,
and make sure they aren't oversized od, (align bored case) as in a factory
rebuild.
