I'm glad my 2.5 mil $$ machine shop qualifies me as an expert. LOL
Cranks rarely measure exactly the stock journal diameter. They are generally .001 or so smaller than the advertised size. If yours measures exactly to size then that would be the problem so to speak.
You can mix H halves and HX halves to get the required clearance. But if you have .0015 now just get a HX set and check it.
You should have Sunnen stuff to set dial bore gages up with. Measure the crank again with a light touch torque the mains and rods up with the bearings in and measure it with the dial bore gage perpndicular to the parting lines.
The bore size in the block and rods would have to be WAYYY off to affect the clearance very much. It should affect the crush more than anything. But the rod bore should not vary between 90 degrees and 45 degrees. They will vary at the parting lines a bit depending on the rod and if resizing etc.
But that is just my humble opinon. Not necessaiiy advice.

NASCAR 7 Maybe not al winning engines, but they were there.
Also my little 820hp 467, a 1000hp Stg II Buic v6 that holds a bunch of records at Bonneville, an all aluminum 427FE motor for one of our Cobras, and about 50 other various performance street and boat engines.
Now, why don't you fill in the same list.
Obviously without comparing me to someone else, you haven't got a leg to stand on.

4 pro stocks huh, who??

And please correct me if I am wrong but the reason the rod bearings are made that way is for the dynamic wedge, no??

I picked up an engine build over this thread. He had similar problems. From Californey too, hmm. Due to the number of P.M.s and calls about those that would demean info from Smokey (if living),Warren Johnson, and Grumpy Jenkins to name some names that were mentioned, I'll let you guys go at it. Some say there are peeps that you CAN'T help. I agree. Post all you like, I'm somewhere else. TIMINATOR
