Re: Engine Bearing Failure
One of the guys makes a real point I would never have considered. In short we set bearing clearance cold whic doesn't allow for when the bearings heat up and the clearance changes. Seems what Mike suggested was heading in the right direction (aim for 0.0018") it seems most of the engines chasing 8,000rpm run 0.003".
Here is the artical

Have a great day.
