I was given some excellent advice: " hold the bearings together by the centre rings, clamp one side of the outer rings together, measure the gap diametrically opposite, and halve it to give the amount needed to be added to give the bearings the required pre-load.

That is as far as I have got, now. Other things have got in the way and the engine is still in bits all over the garage.

Remember that you will most likely have an unmatched pair of standard bearings and the required shimmimg could be either inner or outer ring .
