Have to check that all the machining was done right. ie, if they missed one or didn't cut it the right size, misaligned, etc. then the oversize bearings will "over"-tighten. The blocks are best align honed, so since that wasn't done it complicates trueness.
There's a magic clearance on the bearings to get correct oil flow. So if too tight going back, you'll ruin it.
Lots of lost art in those passe rope seals too. Common early issue across the brands.
