I was taught .004 per inch of bore as a baseline. But really, every build could be different, depending on parts and usage. Now add in the other post about Total Seals ideas...I'm starting to doubt myself too...lol.
Yep I am not claiming to more than total seal ( I read their stuff ), but I have seen in 100s of engines the results of to tight or to loose. I kinda view some of that stuff as marketing like the days of GM saying you only needed to change oil every 1k miles.
I think we are good to go and loose is better than tight... well when talking about arings.. :icescrea:
