Crankshaft wobble

[Bob Culver]

I presume the timing gear is removed.  Even if the front of crank had been bent, would likely cause flywheel runout but unlikely to affect the smooth turning of rear main. The droop of the unsupported crank depends a lot on the type, tolerance and wear of the front bearings. New or shimmed ac front races can allow almost no droop. Whether or not this is a desirable condition is questionable.
At this delicate stage the top priority is not to break the front lip!
