Yes, I measured endplay and it was withing spec, but I am at work and don't have the notes.
I am guessing your machinist said bonking the crank for and aft on a Pontiac doesn't really do anything because the main caps locate on pins, not a block register. He would be right. Many people do it on a Pontiac, but unless you have a loose sloppy fit on the pins, it doesn't really do anything.
