...Remember, a .001" Too Far, and the 'Work' is Junked. I'm posting a Picture of a Bearing that came out of My Pantera. It was the First I Ever Machined, and was Precise to the 1.3750" of the 351C Crank Pocket! It Installed Easily, But was Too Loose, and Spun in the Pocket. It DID NOT come out of the Pocket, until I pulled the Transaxle, to remove the Engine for Other reasons, and The Bearing was Hanging Off the Input Shaft! That is why, from the Second Bearing, (Now in My Car) On, I Machine the O.D.'s to 1.380".
The warn marks are at 1.3690", but the Un-Warn O.D. IS AT 1.380"...It Must have 'Grown' Somehow!! Testing the I.D. with the Gage, Fits, Spun Smoothly, but was a 'Little Snug'! The Cause of coming Loose in the Crank Pocket, and wearing Down. I Know I put it at 1.3750".
