Oldandtired, is right if the cap is not doweled you have too smack the crank forward and backward before torquing the cap down. also they sell an over size rear main to solve the crank wear, it's possible you accidently got one of these in the main bearing set. If you have a set of calibers pull the rear main cap off and measure the the bearing width the check the crank thrust surfaces width.
