[TPR] Main bearing clearance

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Sage advice duly noted. :)
In all honestly, that's what I was going to end up doing anyway.  I  
mulled it over six ways from Sunday and decided I did -not- want to  
mess with shims.

Most of my driving is freeway, some autocross, and hopefully Open Road  
Racing this September.  I have an M-6600-C3 Ford Racing High Volume  
oil pump sitting on the shelf that's going to go into this as well  
(unless it's recommended I don't use it).  I'll monitor oil pressure  
and maybe temp too since the oil pan I have has an extra tap.

You're comments have made me feel much more comfortable.
Thank you sincerely,
Asa Jay
