My 422 smallblock build

Just don’t prescribe to the school of “It’ll clearance itself” on that one. Most times that will work in the lower ten thousandths numbers but not so well in the thousandths. My personal preference is still about .002-.0025 or close to it on the main bearing clearance.
I plan to double check all main caps to see if I can get a whisker more clearance. If not I’ll pull the thrust bearing and massage it a little.
