agreed with dransport, never do the bearing install as shown, like said in a previous post. don't hammer on the bearing cap as described because it will flatten the plastigae and give false readings, put the plastigage on a film of light oil to help hold and release. further to that, use a lint free rag and install some bearing guard to the bearing on final assembly. the video was basically linked to show how plastigage works. sorry for any ill advice there in the video boys, good catch.
on the "shaved" t/cover, like 1project says, it is a common thing to do but be aware of how much you shave off so the seal will fit and stay in place. use good quality silicone and a couple of small center punches or the like to line up the dowels with the holes in the t/cover so you can press the cover down evenly. some will remove the dowels to make it easier then hold the cover in place with punches until a couple of bolts can be started, then install the dowels for line up purposes of the front seal on the crank, don't rely on the bolts for that and skip the dowels altogether.
