M96 crank

I'm looking for input from someone with experience rebuilding these.
I have a 3.2 which suffered from a clogged oil pump inlet as a result of cam pads disintegrating. The end result was a trashed rod bearing and some very unhappy mains but without scoring. A pro engine builder polished the crank and called it good.
I have reassembled with new bearings and ARP case bolts. It spins freely--to a point. There seems to be a tight spot. Now i have another crank which is undamaged, and I intend to mic. The question is should I just move to the other crank, or go through all the bearings to see if one is out of spec?
