Chad,

I just threw 2 complete sets of .001" lower half Big Block Rod bearings away on Friday for the same reason. I figure if Clevite tells you to run them that way, there must be a reason. The engineering side of me says that the thicker bearing will conform to the diameter of the crankshaft better and will result in a larger bearing area as compared to the thinner one.
