I've finally got my engine out of my '47 A. I was measuring up the journals and found one of my rod journals to be a little over .001 tapered. Plastigauge tipped me off and my mics confirmed it.
The weird thing is visually it looks perfect, like right out of the machine shop perfect. I really wonder how it ended up that way.
I'm going to bring it to the machine shop and see what they think. I was getting .003 to .004 of clearance but a couple of of the journals could use a polish so there might be a bit more clearance there then needs to be.
