Rod Clearance too tight
Tight is usually a good thing however I have measured the rod bearing clearance on the first 2 cylinders and I get .0015". The normal range for Hipo street is .002-.003. The bearings are King brand and crank and rods are std scat with capscrew ARP.
Unfortunately, beacause I have checked this clearance twice and have over- stretched the bolts. Out of the box, the bolts measured 1.944 now they are 1.956. When I checked the clearances, I torqued at 55 psi. I've never experienced these issues before. Anybody have any suggestions. Thanks
