My #1 walked a lot farther than yours, but I had low oil pressure shorty before the bearing contacted a lifter. The block was out of tolerances and scrapped.

Mine did also walk far enough for the lifter to touch it, but not so much as yours did - wow!!
Was your cam tunnel out of line or was there some other problem?
My cam did turn quite easily after the new bearings were installed so I cannot see that it should be much out of line in my engine.
If I could go to the dealership and buy a new bare LS1 block at your US prices I would do that in a heartbeat for peace of minds but unfortunately the supply and pricing is waaay different over here.
