Here you go Mike.
Stock size 302 bearings on the 235/261 crank
Comparing the stock 302 bearing with the cut down 302 bearing
This is the cut down bearing installed in the narrowed 302 rod. You can see that there is more than enough clearance now for the crank
Same view you can see just how close
These bearings came from Patrick's who got them from egge. I am not particularly happy with the bearings but they will work. Egge apparently sprayed them with some sort of coating. Put like a thousandth on the clearance. Came off with lacquer thinner and then the clearances came in to spec
