Default B20 vtec rod bearing clearances recommend?

Hi hope some one can help I'm just doing my build and I'm getting 0.025mm clearance on all four rods. Would you say this is a little tight?. I'm currently using acl race bearings so now considering going below standard size and getting HX size

yes. that's a little tight. .025mm = .0098".
Id shoot for something closer to .0018" or about twice what you have now.
