Conrod side play?
Up to Commando
Hi Kyle,
the clearance is .013 - .016 of an inch.
The info is located on this very site. You can type in con rod clearance on the search bar, or use this link:
There is quite a bit of good info in the archives of this site, I find the search bar very useful in getting answers. You just have to remember, the English sometimes use different terminology than we Americans use.
All the Best,
Skip Brolund
