My 422 smallblock build

I too I like to place my caps over my studs as by doing so I know I have clearance. Some small differences on how I set my crank. I tap my caps down with the handle of s plastic mallet the I take a brass hammer and smack it forwards and backwards a few times. Then I torque all my main caps to 25 foot pounds and I throw my dial indicator on to check my clearance. If I don’t have at least .005-007 it’s coming apart to sand my thrust bearing. I repeat these steps till I have that clearance then I finish my torquing and check final clearance. You have to get that thrust bearing squared up.
