Never seen half shell size changes on mains, seen it with rods and done it on rods. A V8 crank supported at the ends will deflect under it's own weight, it relies on a straight tunnel to be straight.
Here is a question to ponder: if you put a thicker bearing on the block side and not on the cap side to make up clearance does it A. Put more pressure on the cap side? B. Helps with crank flex?
Another thing to ponder is would I put the thinner bearing on the rod side or the rod-cap side 🤔 I would put the thinner bearing in the rod as to have the thicker oil film on power stroke. That’s my tHeOrY 🧐
@gk5891 indeed....34 years with my wife and 5 children....4 female 35 to 26 and a 19 year old son. and so far 5 grandchildren.... never had a boat. i work on them...never could afford one or a divorce. fixing them gained some access though .. i think i am lucky ... but damn it boats are fun.
What you're saying about the bearing on one side makes sense to me... But also I think we all might be surprised how much the crank flexes.
That 496 article "monster mash" I think 🤔 many years ago. I believe it was the one in the article from the thumbnail.. Loved that build.
I have used both ways and never had issues with plastic gauge. Sometimes I even prefer. And found plastic gauge more accurate.

Sidevalve V8's had the crank offset to one side, I think the gudgeons were centered in the pistons though.

@@baby-sharkgto4902on the rod you want the thicker bearing on the rod side not the cap side if thats what your saying which would be correct.

I used to think cars, boats and planes were the three fastest ways to go broke. Then I found out about marriage.
