Haha unobtanium is right! I've never bought stuff like that from Ebay, have they been reliable for you?

No dice on the bearing cap, they're all machine marked to idiot proof myself smile

Am I correct in thinking that if it's that tight, and the plastiguage is showing it out of clearance... the rod HAS to be out of round / off?

If so, my measurements on the dial bore must be off. I'll check it again next time I'm at the garage. Just wanted to see if there was something else it could have been that I didn't think of.

Wishful thinking grin
