I measured some blocks here in shop they had .002-.005 interference fit on cap and block.
Do you have loose caps or installing new ones?

The thrust cap (center) was 0.0008 interference fit and moved after a few runs.
We are installing new Pro-gram fourbolted caps on the three center positions.

Thanks.
