Main And Big End Clearances On Rb25

[adamsrotor]

hey guys im interested to know what clearances ppl are using on their mains and big ends. ive got a rb25 with a rb26 crank. got around 1 thou (0.025mm) on the mains atm so im prob goin to get some takin off the crank pins as its way to tight. would like to hear from ppl in the know that dont hold out, whats the point of keeping secrets about stuff like this, just need some help. also with the arp main stud kit they reccommend 60 ft/lb's, just thought id double check on that. thanks guys.

On my motor im going for 2 thou on the mains, you will get lots of different answers and reasons, i build them a little looser. Friends sr20 we got 2.4 thou and its fine, select correct oil weight and you should be fine.

thanks mate. i have heard 2 thou a couple other times. i should be able to get away with the acl race series with 1 thou extra clearance then. woohoo!
