    I'm getting ready to install new rod bearings in a 1935 flathead v8 ford. I would appreciate any advice that someone would have. Really interested in the clearances between the bearing flange and the side of the crank. Thanks

    According to FlatheadV8.org (and I am not at home to check it against my Motor's Repair manual)....

    ROD END PLAY:
    ‘35-’41: 0.006"-0.014"
    ‘42-’48: 0.004"-0.008"
    ‘49-’50: 0.006"-0.014"
    ‘51-’53: 0.006"-0.020"

    ROD BEARING CLEARANCE:
    ‘35-‘48: 0.0017"-0.0036"
    ‘49-’53: 0.0005"-0.003"

    MAIN BEARING CLEARANCE:
    ‘35-’50: 0.000" thru 0.003"
    ‘51-’53: 0.001"-0.002
