Peter N:
Thanks Oddjob, I'll let you know. With the new shells I've got I'm going to go along the crank and plastigauge each journal to see exactly what clearance I've got and make a decision from there. At least I'll know how compromised I'll be using green shells. If the clearance is too great I'll have to think again.

Iirc fitting Green main bearings will reduce the clearance as they are thicker?
Assuming you have accurate journal measurements too great a clearance is not an issue.

Oddjob:
Yes Ted, green is the next size up, as in slightly thicker.
