Everyone is out of stock of King Bearings. Summit is saying end of October, Butler doesn't have a date.

I have a few options:

1) Wait until the bearings come back into stock and put this build on hold.
2) Speed Pro 113M (no extra clearance available)
3) Try a combo of Sealed Power 4040M and 4040M1
4) Have the crank polished .001 to open up the clearance for the Clevite 743HNs that Butler sent

Not sure which direction to go. Do any of these bearings run on the larger side?

BTW, Butler aims for .018-.020 on ring gap.

I'm not a fan of mixing bearing shells, you never know if it's going to crush right. With that in mind, I would suggest having the crank polished.

Ring gaps are your call, tighter 'works', all I'm saying looser is safer.

You ask about the oil ring?
