If your putting this thing together to go 200k miles, and last 20 years, then I'd consider turning the crank, and going with oversized bearings.
If your just throwing together a motor to rip around in on occasion, and don't mind a slight loss in oil pressure, run it. It will be fine.
Me personally, I'd consult a competent engine builders advice before I'd listen to someone out there in cyberspace. But then again, if it's on the internet, it must be true...
