The funny thing is every now and again the dodgy engine build is the one that last forever and won't die, luck with it matey hope you get a decent run out of it and not just seize on start up.
alright so i dropped my new "standard size bearings into place, and dropped my crank in....i have .oo9 clearance....annoying, i know it can opperate at .oo9 but it will depend on my oil thickness also.
what i dont understand is why is it so large, the spec is .0015 -.oo7 i need to check the limit....

just get a set of oversize and get the crank and rods machined.It's fairly cheap for just that.
anyone know of a machine shop in houston that can handle this? The one i callled wanted close to 500 dollars to turn and balance and bearing it. If most are going to want that much money i may have to wait. 
I got mine done at a machine shop here for $160. Really, turning, polishing and matching bearings is all they can do. If you want a really good balance, they would need your pistons and rods to weigh them so they know what they need to do on the crank counter-weights. Even then, unless you change your pistons and/or rods, balancing isnt 100% necessary.
BAck again, been busy with school, did a lil more research, and found out that i just need to order a set of .010 Over bearings, for my .010 under crank, no biggy.
Havent had a chance to do much of anything, had to change the front pump seal on my Jeep trans, and im now in the middle of doing the same to my ford explorer. I know that is time for major tear downs on both of those anyway. Im just hoping that they will last long enough for the 2010 Dodge ram 1500's to come out.... Turbo Diesel goodness, ill have more info come monday. See ya

so why would you spend $50 in calipers, and do all the work to check clearances when you can buy $2 worth of plastigage and check them that way? whats hard about putting a piece on the crank and torquing the caps down?
and your clearance is big because of the rk
