Talk about learnig the hard way!
If you want to learn how to properly rebuild an engine and get good results you need to become a student of the practice. Read, take classes, communicate with others. The parts are to $expensive to keep doing it wrong - "ate 5 sets of bearings". Or have a qualified engine shop build out your long block, it will most likely save you money in the long run.
Good luck and happy hunting.

The 5 sets of rod bearings were from a reputable engine shop. I had a fresh block bored and it still ate the bearings (this is the block I was using when I spun the bearing) The only thing left to replace with the other rotating assembly was the crank. The plan was to have another crank balanced with my good rods and pistons. I had it at the builder for like 4 months and they were to busy so I decided to pick it up and throw old parts together. It didn't work out but neither did "doing it right"
