Rod and main clearance?

[y5mgisi]

Im assembling the lowerend of my 500 today and need to get plastiguage still. Does anyone know what the actuall clearences are supposed to be? I mean its probly something like 0.003 or somthing like that eh?

Cliche, but the manual should say, if you've got one. I suspect one of our engine builders can either find that info out as well, or knows it off the top of their head.

Pretty sure that Dorian meant that his cliche was "Check the manual." I think even Chilton's has that stuff, no?

Ok, i'm assuming your speaking of a caddy 500? If so then the clearances are...
rods .0005-.0028"
mains .0013-.0026"
thrust clearance (end play) is .002-.012"
