Help with my first engine build (5.9 Magnum)

Thanks for all the continued replies everyone, it’s all great information for me!

I did some cleaning on the block today after work and pulled the crank out. Bearings didn’t look too bad, but on the #2 bearing cap I found a scrape that I could catch my nail on, so I’ll be purchasing a new set. Made my decision easy!

Crank looks okay, no major scratches that I can feel. Is it okay to reuse the crank without machine work with a new set of bearings?

Cam came in today, and the cam bearing tool is on its way. I might able to give the block a good wash this weekend if it warms up enough, still a little chilly up here in Alaska…
