Re: SBC crank clearance?
What Henry said is spot on, that’s exactly what I shoot
for clearance and pressure wise, things are happy there and will give good performance and longevity!

Re: SBC crank clearance?
I like 0.002" on the rods, and 0.0025" on the mains, and I prefer the King bearings. If you go higher than that on clearance, you probably need to use thicker oil, ie. 20W50.

Re: SBC crank clearance?
thanks all for the help. funny to think back on how ideas used to be. you can just imagine the cam/dist gear milling away trying to turn an oil pump shimmed to pump 90 lbs.!!
