I just started assembling a 1956 235 by plasti-gauge measuring the mains.
Bearings 1 (front),2 & 3 measure 1-2 thou clearance, but repeated measurements on #4 (rear) put it 3.5-4 thou.
Initially this seems rather annoying and I'm considering to sandwich some aluminum foil under the bearing inserts... kind of like Mr. Deve:

Has anyone else tried this?
