Clearancing it yourself isn't that hard. Just make sure you take into account the rod as it moves by the pan. I didn't "adjust" my pan enough and I had to pull the pan to make a few minor adjustments so the rod would stop brushing against the pan.

If you're considering using the stock pan, I think the amount of clearancing is also going to depend on your rod selection as well. My Lunati rods didn't require much clearancing on the pan.

Show clearancing for Eagle rods. Mine didn't require nearly that much.

I used the eagle h beams and I didn't really need to do much at the pan rail.
My contact point was about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch down.

Canton pan actually does require a little depending on the rods used, my Callies H-beams just touched the inside screen/baffle and they just had to be pushed down an 1/8" or so along the edge, otherwise they cleared fine.
