the bearing shells were the issue, they where inconsistent. It took 2 standard sets.

Oh wow, you bought another set of King rod and main bearings, and the second set checked out good?

Or used both sets to achieve preferred clearances?

My supplier got me another set, and yes, between the 2 sets I was able to get a good set with a couple decent for the shelf. These were rod bearings, the mains were fine. I understand what you are saying about the crankshaft journal tolerance, I have been down that road with customers that have bought their own junk and dropped it off. I have also talked to others that have had the same issue with the rod bearings. Just my experience and sharing since questions were asked.
