i noticed a big enough gap to see the rod bearing (when the crank is in the right position) while putting my 6.0 together. stock crank, aftermarket rods, i know they have a chamfer on one side for aftermarket cranks and a stock crank has basically no filets on the crank. my pic sucks but i outlined where the rod bearing is visible. this normal?

 

anyone? i took some better pics. pretty sure its normal but..

 

I dont see anything wrong with it.

 

thanks for replying, its my first ls engine build or build of any kind for a while.

 

There should not be any thing wrong. Of course were assuming that you checked the bearing tolerances and that the rods don't feel lose.

 

What style bearing did you use? A...V or H?

 

clearances are good, i used clevite p's
