No point measuring the bearings without the crank installed, everything changes shape when installed and torqued. That's why plastigauge exists...

I've got my short block assembled, here are the numbers I recorded along the way

Plastigauge results
Mains all between .0016" and .0025"
Big ends all between .001" and .0015"

Crank End float 0.008"
Cam end float 0.003"

Ring Gaps
Top rings 16-18 thou
Oil rings 10 thou

Piston to Bore clearance (approx, I only used calipers for this) .002"

Cam timed at 107 degrees as per specs

Please let me know if anything there needs attention before I start on the head and gearbox
