The clearance on my FMD camshaft is .005"between the journals and the holes in
the block. The IT manual recommends .002-.0025" clearance with a maximum wear
limit of .006". Since the block does not have renewable bushings, it would have
to be line bored and fitted with bushings to correct the clearance. Also, the
camshaft should be ground to fit. This seems like a $$$$ proposition. Will the
engine be usable with the clearance at .005"? Thanks.
