When I built my last aluminum block 15 years ago, general consensus was 2.2-2.5 thousandths on the main and rod bearing clearances. I've been running 15W-50 Gibbs HR-1 oil mainly because it seemed like a good idea at the time. That was with Crane hydraulic roller lifters as well.
I'm planning on using Morel 5329 short travel hydro roller lifters on my new build, and I found a spec sheet on them that dictates oil no heavier than 5W-40.
Do any of the experts here think that the bearing clearances need to be tightened up for oil in that range?
