wow i just rechecked the end play and i must of had to much to drink last night lol iam coming up with .006-.007 endplay so i guess iam in the ballpark now correct?
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.

I'd let it ride with .007-.010. I beat the **** out of an old motor in one of my previous cars that had .015 end play. Never had a problem (not that I condone that, just sayin...)
