sounds ok, what bearings are you using ,also 1s plastigage1to 3.if crank is just ground i would be happy with 3,no more. would also check with maker as to there recommended clearance,3 is better than 1. used crank will always be on the high side unless grinder took a touch to much off

just remember plastigage is not completely accurate,just a guide. how consistent was the measurements on the crank(with aa known micrometer.still think you will be ok
