Andy, 
 I personally have NEVER experience a "dreaded tight spot" as you  describe 
it in any of my engine rebuilds using the shop manual sequence. And all  my 
clearences have been set rather tight (0.0015"). Of couse I tighten the case  
bolts in 5-10 ft-lb increments, turning the crank after each. But still, I have  
never had to go back and start over or found a "high spot". IMO there is  
something seriously wrong if a high spot is encountered. You've got something  
out-of-round, or some other problem if this happens in my opinion. Maybe a  
warped case?  Do you think that the factory got high spots?

Bob Helt
