You want to end up with .000" top and bottom and -.002" on both sides at 3 and 9. This will be centered and you will have out of round .002" which is well with in spec. If the spec is .005" you are still out of spec IMO. Which off set pins did you get? They should have a large slot to rotate them. If you have the room to work adding allen head bolts to lock off the movement of the pins once they are in spec. You need to drill and tap a hole into the pin hole I know it's a pain in the butt but they will never move again. Rick L.

Lakewood offset pins. I have rotated them around about 15 times and this is the closest i have been able to get-pretty annoying. I spent 7 hours on it yesterday and was just about to have a preschool style temper tantrum when I quit. That is why i said i will never use them again. Not to mention one is larger than the other and got jammed inside the block and would not rotate initially.
