Do you still have the clearances that the builder gave you?
I am about to puy my engine toghether this weekend and I want to make sure I dont make the same mistake. If my clearances come close to yours then I'll definetly send the block back to the shop.

Did you have the crankshaft machine? If so, the clearances @ the Rod Bearing might have been correct, but the failure was unevitable.
Excert from Text book.
DISTORTED CRANKSHAFT
Bearing failure which produces severe wear on both the upper and lower halves of the bearing are usually caused by excessive distortion of the crankshaft. This may be a result of unusually high loading conditions and excessive speed. A bent crankshaft will also produce this type of wear.
**** like this just happends
Better luck with your next build.
