OK how many of you actually check bell housing runout?

Hey everyone, About to install a Lakewood bell and TKO 600 and am wondering if any of you really check the bell housing runout? How much did you have to adjust it? It seem that it may even change if you reinstall it. If you didn't check, have you had problems relating to the allignment?

I checked mine and adjusted it with offset dowel pins. I don't remember how far it was out. It's been a few years.
