Tight Thrust Bearing

We are in process of swapping the crank in the '95.

We got a remanufactured crank (.010 under) from Marshall with new Mahle bearing set. All bearings checked out perfect (around .0015") except the thrust faces on the number 4 main. It is a very slight interference fit. It requires about 60 lb-ft of torque to turn the crank once torqued down.

 

So the question is:

Can I shave the bearing face a couple thousandths to achieve a .002" clearance, or should I let it be and let it "wear" itself in?

 

I can either take a flycut with our mill, or just sand it on a plate of glass.

 

Suggestions?

 

TIA!
