If measurements are all within service limits, then I wouldn't worry!

I've sold all my spare black shells but a member here might have a pair they are willing to part with - worth a try.

Got around to measuring with my brown shells, it goes down to around 0.025mm, so I'll just replace that green with a brown. That means it will be BBGBB, but could I get away with BBBBB? I'll measure again trying a brown in the middle main.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
BBGBB looks as though they will all be a similar clearance - I would probably worry unnecessarily if I left them at BBBBB.

Your choice at the end of the day, only you will know one main journal has more clearance.
