what i ended up doing was atatching the shaft to a drill press and turning it on then going over the journals with 800 grit for a little while....it fits!!

Called it!

I'm guessing the spec is around .0015" to .0028" for the bearing oil clearance on the oil pump driveshaft....don't quote me.

everyone skipped over my post! :p

By chance

did you actually measure it per

instead of guessing?

which Ian re-pointed out again :)

Steel backed babbit by the looks of it.

Don't "guess" if you're going to suggest tech fixes go look the actual spec up ;)

remember!

Close only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades. Machine it is either in spec or out-of spec.

i was compensating for outdated 20 year old oil tolerances...lol

and i was in fact "in spec" according to trsm....i was within the tolerance they give.....i was within .0005" on the tight side and .0002" on the loose side.....and a maximum clearance of .0031" id say that what i told him was correct info...no need to correct my badassness....lol

Goon: You're missing the point it doesn't matter how close you are don't "guess" .......

The specs are there if you don't know for sure look them up if you're too lazy to do this STFU and don't post.

In any case, problem solved, proper advice(take it back out and mic' it) has been given.
We'll wait for the "7M shortblock wanted" post if he doesn't do it.
