No!
I learned this the hard way: when you buy an aftermarket crank, send it straight to the shop and have the journals checked. Before you start scraping the bearings to make 'em fit.
My brand new 440 Source crank needed the mains turned .010, and the thrust was cut too wide (too much end play), so I ended up having to get a set of -.010 bearings with +.010 wide on the thrust.
Brandon may have got a better handle on stuff in the last few years, but the next crank I put in ANYTHING will go to a shop w/ an arnold gauge before I even think about using it.

489 C.I.D., roller cam, aftermarket heads, tunnel ram, stock '54 Dodge rear axle assembly: which of these doesn't belong?
