Could backfiring cause this?

Well Black Baja had it almost right, I somehow got the upper & lower bearings swapped on #1. I swapped them & reassembled and now have .016 clearance. Now that I have proper clearances on the sides I checked bearing clearance on the rods. I came up with .0015 to .002 across all 8 rods. Plastgage is all I have for this measurement so the actual clearance is closer to. 0017, not quite wide enough for .0015 but too wide for .002. The book says that this is within spec but on the tight side. What are your thoughts. I have stopped here for now.
