What is the acceptable tolerance for length (c-c) Whats needed for clearance in the bushed end w/.990 pins? .0015"? Also what is max side clearance on big end. I measured these (big end) and they are approx .006" "thinner" than a used stock LY rod w/ 100,000 plus steet miles ('69 New Yorker)That means my side clearance is going to .012" more than stock. Is this a bad thing, or acceptable? Thanks, Brian
