Getting everything mic'd and checked is definitley the best way and only way to know if everything's cool.But if you don't have access to any mics or bore gauges and didn't have any oil pressure problems or any knocking,banging noises,give the bearings and journals a very close look.Can you catch your fingernail on lines on the journals?Do the bearings show any dirt or particles in them?If not,then check the new bearings using plastigage.You will need to hone the cylinders to get the new rings to seat.
