thumpin cat Gearhead Posts: 234 From: Registered: Mar 2002	posted 08-02-2003 06:47 PM I know this sounds repetative but.... I am about to button up the bottom end and i want to absolutely make sure that running .002 or a tad more of main bearing clearence on my 351w is ok. I really dont want to have premature bearing wear or any other problems. If you guys can please give me your expert opinion on this issue. I dont want to dissassemble the bottom end, but if .002 is absolutely too tight i guess ill have to. This is a street/strip engine so it will see track time and high rpm. please give me your expert opinion thanks. IP: Logged
