383 SBC Acceptable Cam to Rod Clearance
What is an acceptable cam to rod clearance on a 383 SBC stroker ?

Guess....20 thou clearance should never hit, bit of clearance so splash oil can get past etc, 60 thou. But I'm guessing, my first stroker is still awaiting mock assembly.

I like using a thin piece of solder and turning engine over by hand.

Ok, that makes me feel better, I have used a 55 thou zip tie and it clears with few thou to spare
