Bad machine work or am i over looking something?

Installed my 4" crank( SCAT Forged) on to my block. installed #3 Thrust bearings and checked end play with a dial indicator. Had to pry hard and only got .002" of end play,and it would spring back. pull my feeler gauges out and i have .002 play/gap on one side of the block and .002 play on the opposite side of the cap. tried to loosen main cap and center it on the crank. no change. Spin the cap on the block(which i know is the wrong way!) and and the gap on the block moves from the rear side to the front side. And main "cap" gap, move to the rear.

So basically, i have "0" end play. :scratch:
