well its been a while and the bearings finally showed up, so i got back at measuring again and what i ended up doing was splitting the bearing halves. as you can see the king bearing looks to be of better quality than the others.

any way the the end results on the clearance is this


so i dropped the crank in got it all torqued down

and said shit i forgot the rear main seal, so out came the crank again ( for what seemed like the hundredth time)
i got the rear main mocked up and since the block had been align honed i had to trim the rear main so i had .040 hanging out on both sides for the seal crush. then i staggered it so the parting lines would not be even with the block. i sure hope this sum bitch don't leak.
