Yeah, finally got them within spec, although most are at the upper or lower tolerance. Lucky's right, it's a moving target. Had several that wouldn't take a .0015" like rob above, replaced a 290 with a 285, should have given about .005", measured over .007". Most took several iterations, and at $6.00 each from the dealership an hour away it was a costly process. At least I've got a few that I can have ground down to size for next time. Luckily my brother-in-law is a toolmaker and can grind them down for beer.
