After getting everything together I used Plastigauge to check clearences. Front three bearings were .001-.0015. Rear Main Was .0015 at the rear most part of the bearing but .003 on the font end. Manual says .0005-.0045. Any reason to shim? even .001 to get closer to the middle of the range? Thanks!
