There probably spot on if you were building a "stock" engine, but when building a performance engine you have to observe different machining techniques and components to adjust the bearing clearances where they need to be, thats where the term "blueprinting" comes into play. If your intention is to build a hot performance engine, you need to seek out a machine shop that is familiar with how to do this so they can perform the necessary tasks and provide you with the necessary components to help you achieve your goal. Your probably not even using a high performance grade or race type bearing set, and thats one of the key elements that often gets overlooked when doing a performance build.
