RE: TR6 Main and Con Rod Bearing Clearances (score: 1): Author: Hugh Fader <hfader@usa.net>; Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2002 14:03:16 -0400; So, it looks like rod bearing clearance is 0.0010-0.0027 (Bentley and Chilton agree) And, it looks like main bearing clearance is around 0.002 (Vizard: .0012 - .0020, Chilton: 0.0015-0.0025).

But the front one is definitely more than just a snug fit. My next step is to measure the opening ID and the seal OD. One thing I did not mention wa; /html/6pack/2002-04/msg00363.html (8,616 bytes)
