Tread Cautously! Since the caps wer not tightened down i am very suspicous that the line boring was not completed.
It strikes me as odd that a shop would line bore WITH A CRANK PRESENT and not go ahead and button it up by torquing the caps THUS COMPLETING the operation which is usual, customary and EXPECTED .

Follow Owens advice on the measureing with micrometers FIRST.

U need to find someone that knows what they are doing with fitting cranks and bearings. Not someone that has read Hot ROd magazine or took some Auto Certification course at a local tech college. Based on what u've listed thus far i can only wish u GOODLUCK and prayers!!!
