Default what should i do with this crank???

whats up guys? im building a 306. i have a crank that is turned ".010-.010". i have had an issue when i tried to put the crank back in the block with new bearings. when i torque it down it wouldn't turn. so i stopped and tried to figure it out. i took out the #2,3,4 main bearings just leaving in # 1 and 5. then set the crank on just those 2 bearings to see if the crank was straight. i did not torque them down or anything...is that a good way to see???? when i turned the crank the needle moved about .003 or so. that seems like too much and that is the problem as to why it wont turn when torqued down.

please let me know what i should do..... about how much is it to machine if farther? or am i better off finding a new crank???
