Crank machining is suspect - as in journal taper. Possible though that bearing are at fault - not as likely though.

Too much clearance - like if he measured a tapered bearing or crank at the tight end and it was bigger at the other end. Or if it opened up a bunch as a result of wear.

The H series is copper-lead with a higher ultimate load capacity. The V series is lead-inium with slightly lower load capacity but a greater degree of seizure resistance.
