What's "bearing pinch"?

Dunno if this matters, but all compressions are in the high 70s, oil
consumption is better than average, and it runs great.

From my automotive days, this is where the bearings are either
not seated properly, or are not the proper size to fit, and
torquing down the case bolts results in compressing the bearings
onto the crank, resulting in restricted movement and generally
a chewing up of the bearings and/or crank.
