"He would like this information to be sure the bearing crush will be appropriate once the crank is in place and the caps tightened down. The bearings were re-babitted about 2 years ago"

The crush factor is a moot point at this point. If REusing the bearings regardless of babbit or inserts is the case then the only thing that needs to be done is to plasti gauge the bearings and then shim/file accordingly to achieve the spec clearence IF NEEDED.
