Engine Bearing clearance check

[limp]

On a 98 302
Mains .0005-.0024 with end play of .004-.008
Rods .0008-.0026
these numbers look good ?

yes you want on the looser side if you plan to run it hard at high rpm....that .0008 would spin a bearing fast if run hard.

Those smaller numbers looked pretty tight to me also.. Thats what my book and a "search" both came with so I thought I would ask on here.. Thanks
