.008 aint bad if ur THRUST cap is lined up perfectly, thats the most important . YOU`LL HAVE MORE THAN .008 ON THE ROD SIDE CLEARANCE MOST LIKELY ---------
.008 side clearance wouldn’t bother me at all. With that said it may tighten up some once he torques all the main caps down. His rod side clearance will or should be way tighter than most of our builds as I think he is running a stock rod. Us guys running Chevy rods in our strokers have lots of rod side clearance.
