bearing clearances.... Alright, when measuring the clearnces for the mains, I measure the journal on the crank, then put the bearing back in and torque the cap down and measure inside with a bore gauge......
Question, do I need to use a new bearing, or can I use my old bearings that aren't worn?
That way I can order the correct bearings the first time......
*Using stock bottom end with new bearings*
also, I plan on clearances of:
#5 #4 #3 #2 #1
.0025 .002 .002 .002 .002
and then .002 on the rods.
The current valvetrain is:
stock heads/valves
CC503
GMPP 1.6RR
PAC1218's
LS7 lifters
stock pushrods
Are the clearances good? This is a dd, so.......
