Case Question

OK. ('88 3.2 160k) p/c, heads going to Ollie's for checking and new valve guides but I have a question on the case and crank. I broke that down this week and there does not appear to be ANY wear on the main bearings...they all look like a dull, flat grey color which I assume is good. There IS a slight showing of copper on the intermediate shaft bearing shell though. Here is my question...what are the chances that the crank is out of spec and the same question on the case? Any reason to not just replace the main bearings? Does it really need to be shipped off and measured? How often are 3.2's with mild use in need of reworking?
TIA
