Spent some more time futzing with the bearings last night. I've had this crank in and out more times that I can remember already and I've gotten proficient at torquing main caps.
I think the path I'm going to take is to use the King undersize bearings on #1-4 and the Speed Pro on #5. Maybe it would be fine, but I just didn't feel great about leaving #5 at .0035. It messes with my OCD a little bit to have on odd duck bearing, but this combo gives me a perfect .0024-.0025 across all the journals.
I also carefully trimmed the BOP seal trying to get it lay down a bit better. I'm being super cautious as to not take too much off. I think it's pretty close, but I'm not sure what's considered acceptable in terms of making sure things will seal. If any one has old thread with pics of examples handy, that would be helpful.
