i just got done measuring crank bearing clearances on my 6 bolt. They all checked out good. 4 of them were pretty close together,right around .025...but their was 1 that was a lil off...it was closer to .038...still within spec tho...should they all come out the same or is it ok for them to be off a lil....also, i noticed that a lot of the bearing had oil holes n them that dont match up to any other oiling hole, i inserted them correctly i know i did because all the tangs match up and a few of them do align with oiling holes....but shouldnt all the holes be ligned up? I knopw that the crank will apply lubrication to the bearings from holes machined in it, but i just dont understand why their are oiling holes in the main bearings and no holes on the mains...for some of them.

i think I know what your saying, ... the clearance us fine...

the mains with the holes fit in the block side, the mains with out holes fit into the main caps.. the oil holes have to align fairly close, the oil is pumped from the pan, thu the block then into the mains, then to the rods...
