I keep spinning rod bearings the crank has been milled hoping for some tips and maybe a number for a brain to scratch .

Did you disassemble the engine and inspect all the parts? How did you check the clearance?I believe our lack of assembly lube may have been the problem we have checked our specs with rads. And are within limits, will update if I spin it again!

No I get you, honestly, I don't see how people can have a lack of respect for these engines after seeing what they're capable of. And I'm not expecting it to be perfect yet. Has previously stated it has been sitting for 15 years. The fact that it runs it all is amazing.
No you're right. It is turned instead of milled. I always get them backwards even with rotors . You would think with it being round I would get it. The first one spun after an oil change and the two halves were on the same side but after inspecting the rod still from the bottom. The rod seemed fine The second was just the knocking That's when we checked it, luckily I come from a family of machinists so we have all the tools to properly check surfaces. We ordered decent bearings instead of cheap bearings just in case their machines were off. As far as the rod and the crank we look to be in good position. Like I've said if it spins again it'll be a complete engine tear down, honestly it's needs to happen either way. Thank you guys again!
