I am performing an engine overhaul. The shaft turns smoothly and has end
play without binding before performing the eccentric end play check. The end
play is 0 and I have gone to a maximum spacer thickness of 8.12 mm spacer
stamp s which gives a slight end play clearance until tightening the bolt.
It still turns smoothly with a nice compression popping sound. The bearings
are properly mounted on the spacer and 2 thrust plates are installed per
procedures.

Any ideas on this ?

I assume you have the shop manual.

One can download them from here free.
