I purchased a non running 49 M at a sale a couple weeks ago with the hopes of fixing it up. After getting it home and tearing into the engine I found that the engine had just been overhauled but the new bearings had about 50 thousandths clearance. The bearings are aftermarket and say standard on the back. My question is I'm wondering if when they ordered the bearings could they have gotten the bearings for a later model M instead of the earlier model. Do the early and late model have the same outside measurements. Just trying to figure what they did to cause this problem. Thanks Larry
