By "drop the caps", I assume that means cutting the caps? After they were done doing that, did they line hone the housing bores to make them round again and remove any taper from cutting the caps? There is a little more to finishing this up than just cutting caps. Your installation work of the caps looks very nice, just make sure it is finished 100%. I don't like to run a block without line honing. I like to finish the housing bores on a 3" main block at 3.1883-3.1884. I like 80% of the bore diameter to gauge at +-.0001 of that dimension with some growth toward the parting line. I like all 5 mains +-.0001 in taper. If you have those dimensions, your King bearings will have around..0028"-.0032 oil clearance. Looking really nice so far.
