A few possibilities:

Insuffficient gland nut torque

Dowel holes elongated, burred, not deep enough...

Crankshaft and flywheel not both of the O-ring style, or crankshaft 
and flywheel not both of the non O-ring style.

Gasket used with O-ring style crank/flywheel, or O-ring used with 
gasket style crank/flywheel.

Wrong size main bearing, either ID, OD, or thrust

Main bearing loose in case, causing misleading end play readings

Wrong shim washers (O-ring vs non O-ring style) used


I think the range for end play is .003-.006" and I usually shoot for 
.004".
