LS1 Engine Build - My First Stroker

The sheath that the piece of Plastgage came in has markers on it; match the marker width to the Plastigage width and you've got your bearing clearance. Ours comes out to be somewhere around 0.0025; GM's service manual states a production bearing clearance range of 0.0008 to 0.0021, with a service limit of 0.0025 inches. While initially we were a bit concerned about this result, we consulted with Lunati's Mark Chacon and he explained to us Lunati's design philosophy on this as well as some enlightening information on bearing clearances in general. See the sidebar ("The Lunati Friction Package") for details. But to answer our question, our clearances are precisely within the specifications Lunati has designed the kit with. So, we're OK with the bearings we have and don't have to get a set of thicker bearings (they're readily available if needed). View Related Article
