did you seat the thrust bearing properly?
install all the main caps and bolts. then torque all the inner main bolts to 15ftlbs and tap the crank rearward then forward. this aligns the thrust surfaces. then torque all the inner bolts to spec. then do the outer bolts first tightening them to 15 ftlbs in sequence, then to spec.
