I am finally getting to put the motor together and ran into a glitch. I have two sets of Clevite 77 bearings and intended to full grove the mains. When I started to put it together I noticed that the notch is in a slightly different location on the berings which cause the inserts in the cap to stick out a little from under the cap. If I change to the smooth insert it lines up real good. Also the thrust bearing will not fit in the cap at all unless I go to the smooth insert. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks for everyones help

There are two was to cure the problem.
1] modify the tab on the bearing, so the inserts line up. Very easy, does not take much time.
2] Widen the notch in the bearing cap. Takes longer, but only needs to be done once, then any change of bearings is just a drop in.
