Default Rod Bearing Clearance?

I'm preparing to replace the rod bearings in my S2. I've looked through the online service manual, but have not had any luck finding the clearance specification. Anyone know, or can you point me to the appropriate page/spec chart in the manual? Thanks!

Hmmm. Didn't occur to me that the spec would be metric. Makes sense, of course, but obviously I'll have to do a conversion to use Plastigage.

PS - Should I apply the WARNING in your sig to those numbers?!?!?!

Cool, thank you. I went ahead and did the conversion, comes out to 0.00134-0.00362". Those numbers look reasonable to me.

Always verify information in Rennlist. Since I don't have my book in front of me and they're off the top of my head you may want to double check it.

Confirmed!

You cheated. Nobody could possibly remember that off the top of their head.
