I normally leave my engine machinist (Southside engine centre) to choose the clearances.
But still interested to know what clearances people like to run on their mains and bigends. I think stock clearances are .0025thou bigends and .003thou mains. Should I go tighter or looser for a high performance 700rwhp capable engine

Im running 3thou all the way down the crank on my supercharged clevo stroker. Will post how it goes when it hits the dyno.
These guys go into it in a bit of detail. http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... sc&start=0

Thanks for that info. I spoke to my machinist (Graham at Southside engine centre) and he said he would do it about 3 thou on both. Basically he reckons whenever he does them at this clearance engine never comes back.
I also read a number of performance books where 3 to 3.5 thou is the clearance to aim for in a performance mtr.

thats interesting, the subaru factory spec is .0015.. i rebuilt one and did them to this clearance.. maybe that explains now why the thing spun a big end bearing (before the rebuild).... it was a my99 sti
my 4l runs .0025 clearance, cant say ive got 600rwhp, but i can say that so far, no bearing problems
