Got any pictures? The quality of the machine work doesn't sound very impressive so far so I'd be interested in seeing the cyllinder finish. I'd also be interested in seeing what this spot you are...

Did you check for round first? The numbers sound more like out of round than a bend.

Your bore should definitely not be 3.823 if done correctly. You added an extra 4 thou to what the bore should...

My crank didn't have any bend in it when I installed it. A quarter of a thousandth is a weird graduation for a dial gage. They are normally graduated at .001, .0005, or .0001. I wasn't suggesting...

How much less than .001 run out do you have? You only have run out on 7 and not 6? What # journals are you spinning the crank on when checking for run out?

For your build you should...
