Gm advises .001, to .003. If it is going to be a 150,000 mile motor, I go to the tight side of .001. Race motors go to about .002, to .0025. They are more "loose" and rev better. The person that regrinds the crankshaft, controls this. You have to tell him in advance. Remember, "looser" tolerances will need a high volume, as well as high pressure pump, to keep a good pressure level with the larger clearance. The big block Chevy pump works great.

The small block chevy turns in a clockwise rotation.
how do i set the timing for a chevy 350 small block?

Yes. what is the question?- about a sm. block chevy.
That would require you to take the engine apart and inspect all the engine bearings to know for sure. It would be easy to notice a spun bearing.
yes
Yes.
Theoretically, yes.
1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2.
Chevy to Chevy...yes.
They do not have an independent part number, as they are matched to the block they come with. So, the number on the bellhousing flange, would include the caps.
