Make sure ALL the bearings have the correct part number markings on them, and that oil clearances are checked/verified per target spec engine calls for.

If you have the special bearing dial calipers you could verify thickness

You can measure thickness with a dial caliper that has resolution to .001" accurately . Just make sure You use the thin part of the caliper, not closer to the dial where it's thicker to measure with .
