Hi guys,
I'm getting ready to assemble the engine in my LS6
454 and i've got a clearance question. The crank is the
original LS6 forging (7416) and it's never been turned.
I keep seeing different #s for the journals. Mains at
2.7481-2.7495 and Conn at 2.1985-2.2000. I've also
seen that they are ground at 2.1985-rod and
2.748-main. Mine read;
#1 main - 2.7482
#1&2 conn - 2.1987
#2 main - 2.7486
#3&4 conn - 2.1986
#3 main 2.7483
#5&6 conn - 2.1988
#4 main - 2.7487
#7&8 conn - 2.1989
#5 main - 2.7477
Did Chevy grind them a little more for more clearance?
Every time I turn around I see some different #'s, what's the
best for a 550-600hp jet application? Thanks Guys!!!
