2.5L ('98-'01) 2.5l bearing clearances

[Brehenkel]

Does anyone know what the main, rod and crank end play clearances are on a 2.5l SOHC small crank journal engine?

Thanks

Most Ford engines before the Modular family run main/rod bearing clearances around .0008"-.0015". On a performance build for the street, the loose end of that specification is better.

Note, end play is the term for the forward/aft clearance of the crankshaft. That spec is .003"-.008". The above specs are 'bearing clearance'.

Thanks for the info.
