jd 40 main brg thrust?

Have couple 40 jd tractors im working on, one was stuck and got it loose, new rings, rod brgs, and valve job and got it running, but it had a knock. took pan off to find crank has to much thrust play, checked rear main brg and compared it to new main for other engine, 010" wore, but the crank moves 025"-030". I havent found any main brgs with over sized thrust. So I figured better check crank for other engine, its the same. Now what? Am I going to have to have both cranks built up where thrust brgs run? Any one been here before? Many thanks for any info to help, email open
 
that would leave you with 15 clearance, perhaps thats not excessive? (sure seems like too much though). Or, the new bearing is likely CHINA therefore not like it belongs?
