[Fot] Aftermarket Rod Question

[Robert Lang]

Hi,
When installing aftermarket H-beam rods in a TR6 engine, is there an accepted measurement for the rod beam clearance to the bottom of the cylinder bore? I noticed that the stock TR6 block has a chamfer in the casting on one side but not on the other - it looks a little "tight" in there compared to the stock rods but that's expected due to the difference in the cross section of the H beam...
I'm just trying to verify if it's accepted practice to mill the pocket there on the side without the chamfer to make sure there's adequate clearance.
It's also a real beeeeyatch to actually see in there and even more of a pain to measure. Looks like a job for modelling clay, I would presume.
Feedback and suggestions are most appreciated.
