Realistically, the BE clearances are optimal. It just seems to us that the oil pump is incapable of keeping up with the increased oil flow demands.

To be nitpicky, even with Chris: We actually strive for clearances a tenth or two larger than BE, with BE's typical .0022" being the least amount of tolerable clearance.
And the No. 1 main bearing is a different kettle of fish altogether, requiring at least .003" of clearance.
