    I have a 496 BBC injected on alcohol. Is .002 clearance on the rods enough? Coated King bearings 20w-50 Valvoline. I used plasticgage on the rods. Mains were .004 with X King bearings.

    What kind of rods?

    Id use + .001X extra clearance bearings and go for .003 either way and go for .003
    .004 on the mains is perfect.
