    Possibly used oversize (for reground crank) bearing shells. Shells could have been mismarked too.
    Check specs and take measurements.

        I can't help with diagnosing your issue but I know I for one would be reluctant to let the same guy work on the car again - if it fails again it could get seriously expensive. At the very least I would have another engine builder look at the car to determine what he would do preferrably someone who has experience with the I5
        Haynes Manual:As described in Chapter 7...

        Translation:That'll teach you not to read through before you start, now you are looking at scarey photos of the inside of a gearbox.
