Re: housing bore for main bearings on 7th series 8

Dear All,

Thanks again for all your help. I now have a new question. I know the minimum clearance for main bearing to crank journal is a thou, but what is the maximum clearance recommended?

After the cylinder block was attached to the crankcase, and many measurements were taken, it looks like the main to crank clearance is from 0.0015 to 0.0029.

I am sure that this information is someplace in the service manual, but I am, so far, at a loss as to where.

As always, any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
