Pretty much like most other engines. I always use manufacturer's spec on the piston
side clearance. My Arias last time was .006. Mine were .020 down the hole.
A good machine shop is most important!! Check crank end play. Crank clearance
on bearings vary. Used to run .003 on rods and mains. I'd proly run .002 nowadays.
Your book should cover all that. You can drill out passage holes etc by the book
to help. Nice engines. .030 is max on boring. Always check deck height and line bore.Last edited by shoprat; 12-24-2010 at 07:56 PM.
A Ranchero is NOT an El Camino
