THEN, take that same number of shims out of the center main and just live with the slightly greater clearance at that bearing. Thus avoiding the bowing that would have resulted from going to .0015 - .002 at that center bearing.
Makes sense to me .

I agree, and recall my Dad telling me to adjust the front and rear mains first and the center main last. He also said that I might not be able to get the center as tight as the others and that was OK.
