7 bolt main and rod bearing clearances

[Chris hardman]

Ok, my builder and I checked our main bearing clearances last night and they came in at .0024 to .0026 with standard sized ACL race bearings. What are your thoughts? I know there’s a lot of differing opinions on this so I thought it would be worth asking you guys about. We will be chucking the rod clearances this evening.

That's a bit looser than Mitsubishi wants it, but it's still within the service limit of .004". Are you deleting the balance shafts?

Yes, balance shafts are deleted
