Possible. Another possibility is a journal at the upper tolerance spec mated with a rod/bearing at the lower tolerance spec. Put the two together...and boom goes the dynamite. But there aren't enough measurements collected yet to know if that's the case.

Sorry yes, my mistake they are a nominal 52mm. I have figures noted here at -.018mm, so I should have said 51.982mm. I will edit.
That's what I mean about the bad builder. If they mixed a low end tolerance rod end with a high end tolerance journal things will be getting tight. Mix that with a distorted shell and it's not good news
