Yup sounds like mine thanks for the update , I know it's not much of a secret but someone told me not to say nuthin or else it will take months to get motors done from there , Sort of like RPE's waiting list.

clearance
Doesn/t matter what crank. I like between .001---.0015 on rods and mains. I have the equipment to coat my bearings, making it some what easier to control clearance.

problem
That Eagle crank takes chamfered bearings and last time i checked nobody offered them.You have to make them chamfered yourself.This maybe part of your problem.This is one reason why i didn't go with that crank,staying with stock crank.Definately a machinist fault.Sounds like he really didn't know what he was doing.

Only the rod bearing need chamfered, and if they are Clevitte's, they will fit as is.
As far as clearances, we never go tighter that .0015" and shoot for .020" [or more if a race motor]. We have never lost a bearing due to being "too loose", but seen what too tight and detonation can do!

THE MOTOR IS CURRENTLY BEING DONE AT BOBS( RPE) . WE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE BLOCK IN ORDER TO REUSE THE SAME JE PISTONS, AND PUT A GIRDLE WITH STOCK CAPS. ALSO THE CAM STARTED EATING INTO THE FRONT OF THE BLOCK, THE FIRST BUILDER HAD TOLD ME I UNDER ESTIMATED THE POWER THIS MOTOR HAD MADE, AND THE RINGS WERE FRIED TO PROVE SO, AT 15 psi ,THAT WAS A JOKE, AND WHEN BOB LOOKED AT THE RINGS, HE LAUGHED!!! THE STEEL CAPS AND BEARINGS ARE TO FAR BAD TO EVEN TELL IF THEY WERE DONE CORRECTLY, BUT THERE WERE A FEW OTHER MISTAKES MADE TO THIS MOTOR, THAT WHEN ALL DONE AND I GET THE OLD STUFF BACK, I AM GONNA DRAG HIS ASS INTO COURT. GOT NOTHING TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!
