If there were no operating clearance the clutch release bearing would constantly be in contact with the spring diaphragm causing wear on both the diaphragm and the bearing itself, also the bearing pushing on the diaphragm could cause the clutch friction plate to not be fully engaged and slip.

in order to prevent continuous rotation of the release bearing. This prevents premature wear of the bearing. To ensure that the full spring pressure and clamping force is applied at the clutch contact faces. This prevents clutch slip.
Bearing clearance is the distance between the crankshaft journal and the bearing surface. It is usually referred to as oil clearance, as that's what is occupying the space.
Operating clearance of the clutch is typically measured at the clutch release fork or the clutch pedal. It is the distance between the clutch release bearing and the pressure plate when the pedal is fully released. This measurement ensures that there is enough clearance for the clutch to engage and disengage properly without causing excessive wear or slippage. Proper adjustment of this clearance is crucial for optimal clutch performance.
The clearance between a rod bearing and a journal typically ranges from 0.001 to 0.003 inches (0.025 to 0.076 mm), but it can vary depending on the engine design and application. Proper clearance is crucial for oil film formation, temperature management, and overall engine performance. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the optimal clearance for specific engines.
Type your answer here... If your looking in a book then you need to find rod bearing clearance SPECS. for your year and engine SIZE.
it is called the diaphram.
C2 bearings have a tighter internal clearance, resulting in less internal play, while C3 bearings have a larger internal clearance. This can affect the bearing's ability to accommodate thermal expansion and other factors during operation. Generally, C3 bearings are used in applications where there may be higher operating temperatures or where thermal expansion is a concern.
I believe the clearance should be within .002 and .007 thousands of an inch. and also the end play clearance, should be between .002 and .007. you should check the bearing caps with plastic gauge, and the end play wiyh a feeler gauge.
When rod bearing clearance is too tight the end result is what is called a spun bearing -- definitely a bad thing. Bearing clearance is the difference between the inside diameter of the bearing and the outside diameter of the crankshaft journal to which it is clamped. The bearing is supplied pressurized oil fed by the oil pump, it should never touch the crankshaft journal but should always float on a wedge of oil. If the clearance is too tight the bearing touches or drags on the crankshaft journal and the journal grabs the bearing and spins it inside the housing into which it is clamped -- which in the case of a rod bearing is the big end of the connecting rod. Once this happens it all pretty much self destructs as it chews up the big end of the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal as well.
Labrynth seal clearances depend up the diameter of the rotating shaft, bearing clearance & temperature of the lubricating medium. As ageneral thumb rule the clearance must be 0.03 mm per 1" dia of shaft.
To reduce friction in plain bearings, you can use lubricants such as oil or grease to create a film between the bearing surfaces. Ensuring proper alignment and clearance between the bearing and shaft can also help to minimize friction. Additionally, using materials with lower friction coefficients or adding bearing inserts can further reduce friction.
