    I sent a message prevousely pertaining to rod bearing clearances for my big block 455. I don't know if I submitted it correctly. It shows that I had 29 people view but no reply.

    Did I send the information wrong?
    I thought I sent it to a group not just one person.
    Thanks

    If this is an all out competition engine, your rods should be set at .0035/.004. The main at .004/.0045

    That's what I thought too. Anything over .003 and you'll have no/low pressure at idle. Too much clearance. The clearances should run between .0015-.0020.
