you should mic he crank journals and the main caps with the bearings in. Subtract the difference and thats your bearing clearance. off the top of my head I wanna say it should be .002-.005. Then after everything looks good, plastigauge it just for good measure.
putting crank in 331
I started this thread to find out if putting crank in for a 331 do you have to use a mic or plastic gauge
when i built my stock 5.0 together crank had no slack i put it together and still going. Someone told me 302 dont have to be miced so did i get lucky or is it as simple as that
