By the way you are correct in plastigaging with the engine upsidedown, for the mains you don't want the weight of the crank helping to crush the plastigage. When you check clearance on final assembly, check with no oil on the upper bearing shells as the oil will hold the crank away from the bearing shell and show less clearance than there is. Once you are done checking all the main bearing clearances, lift the crank out again and lubricate the bearings, reinstall the crank and check endplay.
