I think that there is one factor that gets forgotten when trying to get rotor clearance. It is critical the the stator is mounted perpendicular to the crankshaft. There may be clearance at the front, but in the same position but behind there may be none, and the reverse on the opposite side of the stator. 10 or so thou can easily be lost if for example the centre stud is not shimmed properly, the stator spacers are not exactly the same height or the inner cover has suffered somehow. Perhaps the best way to determine this (after the crank has been proved true) is to mount the stator on the rotor shim it, then push it home and see if all three studs seat properly before being fastened.
