Colin, If the main bearings are line bored a few thou different from the original position, the distance from camshaft centreline to crankshaft centreline will be different. Clearly once the bearings are bored, the distance doesn't change for the life of that rebuild. We take great care to get it right before starting the line borer. Measure twice, cut once!
