FWIW (very little), I don't believe that moving the crank fore/aft by .010"
is going to make any difference to anything. I've always heard it's OK to
mix/match thrust washer sizes to get the right clearance.
Also FWIW, I feel a better solution is to have the cap machined to take a
second thrust insert, which halves the pressure (per unit area), rather than
Scott's solution of using a harder bearing material. I believe machining
the cap is recommended by people like Kas Kastner and Greg Solow. It's also
what Triumph used on earlier engines (like the TR2-4A) which never seem to
have thrust washer problems.
But it's certainly more expensive than just stuffing in some bronze washers.
Just my $.01 worth
