I usually try to set the endplay at .004". If you have the crank out of the
case, install the main brg, shims, and the flywheel, and chack the end play
with a feeler gage. This acutally the most accurate way at this point in the
game.
It sounds like it is too tight, if it is turning the shims blue. Or you are
not getting any oil to that main.

If you have the case apart, mic. the thickness on the rear main web. Now
mic. the inside spacing of the bearing flanges. The bearing should be about
same or .001" smaller.
