Let the truth be know to all!!!

Ok I have to confess. I made a bad decision. I rebuilt this 2.3 ltr engine and installed all standard size bearing on the crankshaft and rod journals. I miked all the races to verify the use of new standard size bearing, but for some reason I believe it was that my parts supplier did not have standard size thrust bearings at the time I used first oversize on the thrust. Well now after the engine warms up, The engine starts to squeal. I checked everything; water pump replaced all belts checked and replaced, timing chain check and replaced, camshaft checked. My only conclusion is the thrust bearings are too tight. This is why I want to jack up the car drop the pan and replace the thrust bearing without removing the crankshaft. Ok I feel better now that I have told the truth. But I still have the squeal to solve.
