I DEFINATELY have to agree with accordepicenter on this one. You should ALWAYSE use plastigauge to spec out the each and every single bearing when you do a rebuild. You never know when they can be out of spec. But hey, let it be a learning experience for you, you could have noticed this while it was out on the stand with plastic' but now it's in the car

plastiguage is cheap insurance for only $1.98 for a strip at Auto Zone, it's a good idea when ever doing this kind of stuff

Yea I've never rebuilt a bottom end but I know better than to just slap some bearings in there... and non-vtec why do your Vitara pistons cause a "ticking" noise?
