Sanding thrust bearing; the obvious (and overlooked?) solution

   Disclaimer:  Not my car that was being discussed last (?) week...

I'm taking a training class this week and one of the other participants is 
the Engineering Manager for Clevite.  We got to talking bearings (go figure) 
and I ran the zero thrust clearance issue by him.  He said you can sand the 
bearing, as long as you sand the one that's unloaded.  Duh!  I didn't recall 
hearing anyone make an observation on this important fact.
