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. :o

got the head on so i could find absolute tdc

the cam card called for a 101 isl and at straight up it came in at 99* so i had to retard it 2* (this is why you degree your cam) and got 101.5 witch is good enough..
checked the thrust clearance

then set about checking piston to valve clearance

you can see the intake valve just kissed the play doe and so i cut it in half and measured, plenty of clearance
