Bearing Clearance - 04/05/19 05:32 PM
What do guys think of these clearances.
Molnar 3.9 Crank and rods.
Mains with King Race std =.0014
Mains with ACL Race stdX= .0035
Rods with King Race stdX= .0028
Should I go a bit tighter than .0035 on the mains?

What are you doing with the build? That will determine how much clearance you want.

I wouldn't hesitate going with the .0035 and those rod bearings. The .0014 is fine for stock, but not an engine making big power.

Thank you. I was thinking about getting a set of ACL Std and mixing with the StdX.
I will run it as is since am tired of buying bearings.

I like to be .002-.003 on mains and .003ish rods in the engines I normally play with. I haven't built a race gen III but imagine they want about the same.

I was hoping to get around .0025 on the mains and had King STDX bearings on order for over a month but they are on backorder till June.
Decided to try ACLs.
