I was then online looking at 216 specs on a few different sites and they listed the clearances as: Connecting Rod Bearing clearance .0003-.0013 & Main Bearing clearance .0007-.0028 .
Note that the main bearing clearances in the book and online are close, but there's a big difference between the rod clearances. Since I'm getting ready to install the pistons and check the rod clearances, I need to know what the correct clearances are. Can someone verify?
