Line honing crank journals

Getting back to the line honing. Against my better judgement, I allowed a shop to align-hone my block. They said they had the right fixture for it. To my knowledge the alignment was fine, cuz the crank spun beautifully, and she hadn't spun a bearing in 2 years of wreckless abandonment driving. The block was only there to remachine the crooked decks gifted to me by a different shop. Since they were a well-established shop, I caved. Well, they mostly fixed the decks, so I put the engine back together, and the world was rosy-pink again. Until I found the rear mainseal leaking. Crap. So I put a new seal in and away I went. Well a short while later,crap, it was puking oil again. So it was getting late in the season anyway and it was time to freshen it up.So I yanked it out, and took a real good look at the seal.To my amazement, the seal was very worn on the one side and almost untouched on the other; 180* apart. Putting 2 +2 together, I went back to the well-established shop. After a long song and dance on their part, they offered free machining if I brought them another block. For them to also screw up?, I think not. So what to do? My block now had straight bores and straight decks, just leaked oil.Well after some research, I discovered that the 383 Mopar had come with a rope-seal back there. So I got one, made a tool to trim it to fit, and voila, problem solved. Right? Not so fast. Turns out, the cranks are finished differently between the two seals. So now it just leaks a little bit. I tried cranckcase evacuators, but they work really,really well. Too well. Even just one. So I decided to just add oil now and then and live with it, 'til it blows up. It will blow up won't it. Well, that was 11 or 12 years ,and over 100,000 miles, ago. Maybe next year she'll blow.....
-So, long story short,If your crank spins freely on new bearings,and the crush falls within limits, don't let anyone talk you into machine work.
Except maybe Rusty. No joke,He knows stuff.
