I'd still get the micrometers out and check everything, including as already suggested the crank end-play thrust surfaces. If all checks out OK, get out the prussian blue indicator and find the high spots. If it's just one small edge that's high because perhaps of not line-boring attached to the block, you might get away with a little babbitt scraping as the old-timer bearing fitters did.
