Thanks Cab, what would be considered too much?

My street motor(518 C.I.) has a set of CAT H beam BB Chevy rods that have .052 on one journal and the tightest is around .030 I think that the Mopar factory service manuals call fro .008 to .020 on most of thier motors, I have never seen one that was close to .020 before tear down from the factory, all of them are wider than .020 I have seen a lot of discussion on this forum on rod side clearances about having to much causing high oil consumption due to flooding the cylinder walls at high RPM, I have always thought that the rod bearing clearances are more important than the side clearances when it comes to oil control on the cylinder walls
