He means the bottom of each cylinder will need clearance for the connecting rod. Just put the crank in the block, put one rod and piston in, and then try rotating the crank. You will then see where you need to make your clearances for the remaining rods. Good luck.

I personally like .060" clearance. Depends on the engine builder. Are you using the D1SC on this engine? Should be quite a ride!
