.001"- .0015". Oversize available in .0002" increments. I found a place that has .002" oversize.

I think you mean.0008". I might could go .0008". But. That would put it under spec. Especially when it heats up. I'm going with the .0006" OS bearings. Thanks. All advice is taken under consideration and appreciated.
