Sounds like you did well. At least that is how I'd handle it.

I suggest a set of 0.020 rings. You can try them and file the end gaps to suit. If they are way too large, sell them to someone. Not a large investment.

Check for a pm, that is if you haven't solved the problem. Good luck. ☺

Best prime the oiling system well before cranking that Continental. Bad stuff happens with dry bearings. You will have enough problems with other things.

Yes, please update on your progress.
