The crank would be out of alignment at the bearings, the worst, at rest, and when running, the centrifugal force of the flywheel, tries to put the shaft back into a straight line, it has to force its self free, wearing the bearings, and enlarging and flexing the shaft. 3-4 thousandths in all 3 bearing, not much of a problem, any larger adjustments, can be.
Even in the K. R. Wilson Model T, and A Tool catalogs, I think he mentioned that effect. Every one should read these. Lots of information.
