Bearing shell when miked at the end is .13" thick, so I'm still not 100% confident. That does not go along with the thickness specs you gave, if this thing is .010" as it now seems.
I also pulled out both halves of the thrust, held them together and put an inside mike in. Came up with 2.24" best I can tell. Standard crank journal is 2.25" So, that seems to put me in the ball-park of .010" under. But thickness, by what you stated puts it at .020".
At this point, I'm tempted to just throw it back together as is. Front journal by the oil pump checks a .0035" clearance. Center thrust bearing around .004" clearnace. Haven't checked the rear yet, but the rear and furthest from the pump is often the worst. Factory specs call for a max wear limit at .0037". So, I'm sure it would be OK if that rear main isn't much worse. I just hate to do things "half-a**ed" when I can avoid it. But new bearings are $70-$80 and I'm not even sure what I need.
