I made a shaft that is .003 larger than the crankshaft journals. I put the connecting rod in a vise and then removed shims until the shaft was tight in the bearing. I then turned the shaft with a pipe wrench. After removing the shaft, I would scrape the bearing. I did this until the shaft showed that it was making contact on at least half the bearing surface. Some had two more shims on one side than the other. I put them back so that each side had the same amount. This is my first time working with babbit bearings. Am I doing it OK so far? I saw in the archives that you install them onto the crank so that they are tight and then add a shim to each side until they are loose. Will the way I did it work OK?. Thank you Steve
