The crank is rotated to check clearance all around. Just at the bottom of the opposite bore is where one often encounters clearance problems between the block and rod bolt, but as you can see, there's no such issue here. I check one other cylinder on the opposite bank just to be sure--this is important since the bolt heads of even-numbered cylinders can also come close to the main oil gallery on the driver side of the engine, but it checks out fine on #8. Brian Nutter explained that K1 takes great care in designing rod bolt lengths and rod dimensions to maximize clearance in LS blocks, and we're happy to keep the Dremel tool in its box!
