After a couple years of waiting.......I get to start my GSR build
Well after measuring everything up i had to tear the block down again so that i can get the mains line honed.
Here are the measurements Crank 1) .1906 2) .1906 3) .1894 4) .1907 5) .1907 Block 1) .1914 2) .1911 3) .1924 4) .1921 5) .1928 Which yeild these clearences 1) .0008 2) .0005 3) .0030 4) .0014 5) .0021
Once i get the block back i will measure the mains and figure out what bearings i need to get. One of these day the motor will be in and running.

So basically #4 is right. I think you've figured out why #1 & 2 were so bad. If I saw these #'s, I'd align bore it. It's okay if #3 is a lil' on the loose side for the crank, but the block seems to be where all the variance is. The reason why I'd align bore it is so I don't have to buy several sets of bearings to piece together a fix for that. You want to be able to replace them with 1 standard set, or one off-sized set if you can.

I contacted the guy i bought the motor from, and he said it was running fine, no problems with the bearings.
Jafro the spun rod bearing was from the first block i bought. I will call around some other places to see what their rates are.

I used to post funny shit when I'm sick. Now I should just stay in bed. I'm old.
Just to echo Civic2ScoobyNback, you'd probably just need it honed. Align Bore is probably overkill because they have to shave the main caps and cut a new hole. A good hone would probably even 'er out.
I hope your motor is up and running soon. Do you remember what we spoke about when I came by to pick up those parts?
