Is the block housing bores straight and the correct size ?

Did you take the block apart? How did the bearings look? The crank? Did the crank spin free in the block?

I've seen too many variabes in factory mass production machining to say No.
I got to where I just lightly trimmed (.001-.002) the caps and dusted the main bores with the align hone on ever engine I built. It was amazing what I ran into. If it is a SBS or BBC be sure to install the oil pump. When it is torqued it affects the rear main bore.
