rod cap help

ok so I put together the motor and it was turning over poorly so i isolated the problem to this rod cap. the bearing does not fit properly as it is a little big, I have some pictures but its probably hard to see. all the other bearings were the right size and I have had no problems turning the crank with this one rod out but when i reinstall it its real hard to turn and its like it gets stuck. Is it possible to file the bearing down a couple of thousanths to get the cap to seat properly?
