Depends on the rods and rod bolts you select.
My Eagle 6" forged h-beam set and L19s required quite a bit of clearancing ... so much
that we had to weld the block to reseal the water jacket several times.
I eventually just half-filled the block for piece of mind.



With some kits, I've been told that little to no clearancing is required.

Are you assembling your bottom end or are you taking it to a competent machine shop?
