Hey guys, I am looking for the factory bearing clearances for a 2.5NA motor. I need them for the balance shafts, crank and rods.

Are these loosened up for racing in the spec class?

Any help in this area would be great.

Thanks,

With our #2 bearing concerns, I've always kept them within OE specs. That said the very first motor I had built in '07 had Specs on the looser side of OE, and has lived for 6 seasons without incident in the hands of Angel Blasquez.

Thank you for your reply.
Where can I find the OE specs?
I have googled that and did not come up with it.

Charlie,

Do you have the shop manuals? I can bring you a set this weekend if not (but you'll have to show me the line around Laguna).

I'll also have my little tech specs book with me that has all that stuff.

That would be great if you could bring one of the books Steve. I can shoot a photo of the specs or write down what I need.

I would be happy to show you the line, that means you will be behind me!
