I'm lookin for a complete check list of every clearance you should check on a race-spec motor, as well as acceptable range of clearance, I don't wanna forget anything and don't intend to rebuild this thing for another 2+ years :)
Also, any tips on how to check the rod to cam clearance? Which rods are prone to hitting the cam? I think its only on 2 cylinders that you need to worry but I forget exactly. I'm using H-Beam's that are profiled for stroker applications without needing a small base circle cam, but I wanna make sure anyway.
I wanna know piston to valve clearance, piston to cylinder wall, a good way to check camshaft "walk" as well as acceptable range for that on a solid roller cam, basically I need the check list that a machine shop charging $1000-2000+ to build the motor would use.
I don't usually turn 7500rpm in my motors so I wanna get this absolutely right.
