I noticed on the first page you guys use Solidworks. Do you use it to model all your engine assemblies or just to create drawings/models for your machined parts?

Care to share the Main Rod bearing clearances Jason,
Care to share what main and rod bearing clearances you would recommend for a 700 HP dry sump LS2 motor in a C5, this for an old time Greenwood SCCA Trans-Am Corvette racer from the 70's?
Corvette Team Members,
Can I get some feedback from those in the know on the suggested clearances for both the main bearings and the rod bearings in an LS series race engine running an Aviaid dry sump oiling system?
Anybody have a connection with a LS series real race engine shop where they might share their suggestions that you could then pass along?
The GM factory specs says:
Crankshaft Main Bearing Clearance - Production
0.0008-0.0021 in
Crankshaft Main Bearing Clearance - Service
0.0008-0.0025 in
but that seams like a pretty big spread.
My engine guy says my motor is running .0022 to .0025 and I have now lost the #4 main bearing twice. Once in a wet sump 383 CID motor and now again in a dry sump 405 CID setup.
Strange that the main would go before a rod bearing as the mains are fed first! And if the oil feeds from the rear of the engine also strange that the second to the rear main brg would go before the front main or front rod brgs.
This is actually a continuation of my earlier thread on my race setup oiling system problems.
I've received a lot of helpful input and suggestions from the members on several new ideas to incorporate but I'm now struggling with what clearance to run in the rebuilding of my 405 CID motor.
I certainly appreciate any input.
