If everything mic'd ok and all bearing sizes checked out and crank checked out, it doesn't make sense??????

Has the crank ever fell over while standing on end? I've seen them bent from this. Doesn't take much to do this.

If the crank is not bent, would it make sense to use shims on specific caps? (given that the crank is straight) We do this on every six cylinder used on my 53 restos.
