There is no such thing as an OEM bearing with extra clearance. WPC slightly increases the clearance, but you're starting at 1/2 of industry average clearance so I"m not sure how that is supposed to move the needle.

Thanks Syt. Yep, may end up purchasing the material myself, not there just yet and haven't decided finally on what to go for.
I thought WPC only where the coating while they used Clevite or somebody else' shells? Seems I have to make myself a little spread sheet with shell fab, coating and distributor in order to get the complete picture...Getting there

PS. And yes, ARP bolts are decided which I understand not only are higher qual but also less wrench rounds and mistakes.
