Thanks Carl. I have seen bearings that were 0.001 and 0.002 oversize, and I presume they were manufactured to do exactly what I am trying to accomplish. I don't have the tools to accurately measure taper other than the plastigage. When I gauged the journal, there was little difference in the measurement from one side to the other, and scoring could barely be felt with my fingernail.
Just playing in the grease and oil.
