so ive been diggin and diggin cant seem to find an answer anywhere...i ordered the acl std main and rod bearings.as far as clearance goes i know ill get like an extra .001 or something like that but do i wanna have my clearance around factory specs for both?? any help would be awesome

 

This is a wildly debated topic.. Some shout looser for higher rev, some shout tighter.. I dove into this rabbit hole some time back and read until my eyes bled. After compiling all the useful information from various builders and engine lifespan, I came up with going just a HAIR over factory spec is plenty sufficient. So rods between .015 - .018 and mains from .018 to .020 would do ya well.

 

sweet thank you
