Hugh,

Have you put a mic on the crank journals and bearings? Would pull the crank and mic it, then put the crank main caps on and torque them down and measure their sizes, at least on #4.

Something is not right here. Bearings do not need to be "honed" (unless one of them is not the correct size, you just plop them in) and should not be "adjusted" at all.

You do not want to overheat a main journal/bearing with this so hope you find the problem.
