Final update. Got the block back from the machine shop. They checked everything and all is good. Even the mains didn't need align honing after installing the studs.

Clean the block and main caps up real well and install the main bearings and crankshaft with the oil you'll run in the motor on both, without the rear main seal, and see how easy the crankshaft turns using your hand on the snout to rotate it Let us know what you find out Can you measure the I.D. of the bearings and the O.D. of the main journals ? If so please let us know how much clearance you have with no oil on both
