Che70velle- Point taken. Unlikely I can assess the talent of those giving advice on this, or any other forum.
I think you are correct though- where in the grand scheme of this vehicle project does this engine lie. Since I consider it a placeholder until i get the next iteration gets funded, it doesn't need to last for more than 30-40K.
Also, the deal with bearing clearance is, if there's too much it won't hold hot idle oil pressure, so I can pull the engine out and return it to the engine builder (me) and make him pay for the fix
