Default Re: Bearing clearance

Thank you all. Learned a lot. Good points about expansion of the parts due to heat, measuring the mains and rods and grinding the crank to deliver the clearance you want, and oil viscosity vs clearance. The machine shop ended up getting a clearance of 0.002.5, on the mains, which I believe both myself and the engine will be happy with.
