run the rods at .0025 and the mains at .0015-.0020

How can you "adjust" the clearance???? If you are installing new bearings and rods....there is no way to really "adjust" the clearance correct? I also had the same question in regards to clearance-thanks

Windu

you can increase the clearance by having your machine shop polish the crank down a few tenths. As for tightening clearance bout the only thing available is to have the bearings coated.

Thank you for fast response.....as far as an "align hone" or "align bore" what if 1 bearing is off but the other ones are not?

Windu

have the line bore checked, if its out of spec for some reson have them hone it. They can also do a line hone and loosen it up to the loose end of spec, whitch will increase your oil crearance as well. But it will also reduce the amount of crush in the bearings.
