it's the distant between the main & rod bearings from your crankshaft, you measure them with a plastic guage that you can get from any parts house.
It all depends on the make of the engine, application, oil type and usage of the engine.
we measured pickup-to-oil-pan clearance with a lump of Playdough. Shoot for around 3/8 to ½ inch
Oil clearance refers to the gap or space between moving parts in an engine or machinery where oil can flow. It is critical for ensuring proper lubrication, reducing friction, and preventing wear between components such as bearings and shafts. Maintaining the correct oil clearance is essential for optimal performance and longevity of the engine, as too little clearance can lead to oil starvation, while too much can increase oil consumption and reduce efficiency.
If you have clearance just remove bolts
Running an additive like Lucas or a thicker oil will increase oil pressure to some degree. Keep in mind that if you have low oil pressure there is a problem with the engine. Most likely worn bearings causing too much clearance. A thicker oil can help take up this clearance and give you back some oil pressure, but it doesn't change the fact that you have a wear problem in the engine and nothing will fix that except a rebuild.
Valve clearance
valve clearance for Isuzu 4ba1 engine is 17.00.
either remove the engine or lift engine up high enough to get to all the bolts on the pan and enough clearance to get it out from the suspension.
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.

No, it will not. The clearance tolerances are different.
Oil clearence is .0008--.0015 and # 2 and 4 mains are .0011--.0023
