Rod Bearing Hi, I would fit King Race bearings, rod only.
Your rod bearing is too tight.
You will NOT allow oil flow @ .002", enough to cool the bearing.
The better size is a .003" rod bearing measurement.

What would you set them to? Those are ERL's numbers ! Everything I've read is .002 min on mains .0025 ideal. Rods .0025 I was amazes how much the oil follow changes going from .0018 to .0025. Now that the news is out I'm really concerned about getting a quality assembly from them.

The thrust is ok for a street car with a performance clutch or converter, but again, if you think you may end up with a little more aggressive setup, I would want more clearance, like .006-.007".
