Correction:
on checking the bearings I have, the centre rings project more one side than the other, presumably having been ground to generate the preloading, with the bearings fitted back to back. (Of course, you idiot Harding!)
This projection means there is a space between the outers, if put together the "wrong" way round, of 75 to 100 thou.
Which means they will not fit in the housing properly, they will project too much. To fit them the "wrong" way round, the inners will have to be removed and turned around.....
....which is maybe why they were wrong in my engine in the first place.
