Hi, im building a sohc mini me and I need some clearances and specs for max power and reliability. Here is the setup:
-Y7 block
-Y7 crank cut .010" (I was opossed to this but funds are lacking)
-New Topline bearings (only ones in bigger size)
-PM6 pistons
-PM6 rods with ARP rod bolts (gonna have them pressed tomorrow, didnt know about the resizing until todayf)
-Ported and shimmed Y7 Oil pump
-P&P Z6 head milled 0.020" Total compression should be 10.8 more or less
-ZEX 59300 camshaft
-crower cam gear
-New rings
-Z6 IM P&P
-60mm TB
-header, intake and exhaust 2.25 (should I go to 2.5? it will be crush bent)
-eg6ajk chip with 8500rpm redline (I have 3 to try them out) <== very cool guy
Ok, now for the info I need:
-What are good bearing clearaces for both main and rod? (0.015")
-What is the best ring gap for allmotor and good oil control?
-What should valve clearances be for breaking-in the ZEX cam and then for runing it for max power?
-What should my cam timing be at for it to be at 0 degrees? Milling means I have to advance it 2deg and the diference between block and head???

Uh that setup is a waste.
PM6 pistons will only give you like 10.4:1 compression, i'd use PG6-B pistons so you can be around 11.5:1.
Also, whats the point of having a cam and ECU that goes to 8500 if your motor can't handle it. Your rod bolts and valvetrain will both fail horribly before 8500...something to think about.

stock z8 valvetrain will old up to 8500 with ease

Thought I read head studs...sorry.
Fine, I won't give any info.

you said me this...... and the other guy you said:

P29's in a d16z6 will ping unless you have > 93 octane...don't do it. Run A6 pistons with a milled head and them cam of your choice
