    Does anyone have the main and rod bearing clearances handy? seems to be unattainable information. i believe oem spec states 0.0013" to 0.0020" for rod bearings.

    Edit:
    Main bearing clearance
    0.0007" to 0.0015"
    Maximum 0.0039"

    Rod bearing clearance
    0.0011" to 0.0020"
    Maximum 0.0039"

    Manley recommends .002 minimum and .003 maximum. Information should be in the paper with your specific rods. Basically if it specs out to factory bearing spec it will be good.

    I saw that as well. If anyone has main bearing spec that's the one I'm most in need of.
    Figured it might also help others at some point
