SCAT stroker cranks, Always like this?

Yah, mine were a bit tight too with the SCAT and crank kit from Hughes; .0015" mains and .0017" rods.

I Think it was Smokey Yunick that said the minimum clearance to form a proper oil wedge required to float the bearings on the crank correctly took a minimum of .0022" to .0025. I guess it's going to have good oil pressure.

Once I warm it up the first or second time, I will still spin it until it runs out of breath, until I take my foot out of it or I hit the next gear. I figure it will "break-in" ok.
