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.
[attachimg=1]
any way the the end results on the clearance is  this
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]
so i dropped the crank in got it all torqued down
[attachimg=4]
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
[attachimg=1]
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
[attachimg=2]
then set about checking piston to valve clearance
[attachimg=3]
you can see the intake valve just kissed the play doe and so i cut it in half and measured, plenty of clearance
[attachimg=4]
