Patrick,
Did you actually read anything I wrote?
I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel.
The crank was too big by .008. No FE pilot bearing would fit. We looked there were no bearing that would fit the incorrectly machined hole.
Therefore I needed to sleeve the pilot bearing anyway. Pilot bearings are made in a FORM. Therefore they are all off by .005. I figured I should keep the one I had instead of buy another one that probably wouldn't be made correctly anyway. I posted this so everyon building a car could chek there's to see if it's off. I'm sure a bunch are all off
