Engine clearances....350

Just want to run some of my clearances by you guys to see if everything looks ok.

Main bearings:
1 .002
2 .002
3 .002
4 .0015
5 .002

Rod bearings:
1 .001
2 .001
3 .001
4 .001
5 .002
6 .001
7 .001
8 .001

Rod side clearances:
1-2 .009
3-4 .011
5-6 .012
7-8 .005? This one is really tight, I can get a .007 barely started and a .004 about 3/4 of the way through, will it be ok??

Piston to wall:
1 .002
2 .002
3 .002
4 .002
5 .001
6 .002
7 .001
8 .002

I cant measure the crank thust clearance b/c I cant get it to move in either direction. It turns freely and I hit the rear of it 4 times to seat the thrust part, but I cant get any of the feeler guages in there?? Will it be ok??\

I measured all the bearing clearances with plastigage. I put it on the rod side of the rod bearings as well so I didnt mess it up when I took the cap off. I'm just wanting to know if everything is ok. I dont have anymore $$ to throw at it so if something is messed up I need to go ahead and fix it now before it costs me the entire engine.

Thanks
Paul
