5.7 crank end-play

FWIW, right wrong or indifferent, I installed ARP main studs on a 5.7 and it didn't need to be align honed. It measured and spun perfectly. With those having separate thrust bearings, I thought there might be different thicknesses. Also, did you have any break in grease/lube on those? I just squirt a little oil in there. Seems like the grease can take out some tolerance when checking end play.
