While this would be the opportune time to check them, we take SAM's word for it on the rod bearing clearances (0.0025-in. on the blueprint sheet); this is not recommended for just any old machine shop though! To check rotating assembly clearances (critical with a larger-than-stock crankshaft stroke), a piston is temporarily assembled to a rod via a lubricated wristpin. Notice the doweled nature of the K1 rod caps, another high-strength feature. The piston/rod assembly is then treated to a lubed rod bearing and inserted at the #1 position. View Related Article
