I see it (myself) as not a clearance issue but an issue with improper warm ups as well as reducing friction on the bearing for oil to move past. I also use Redline 5w50 oil. That's my personal input on it. My shop has been using WPC treated OEM bearings + ARP bolts for quite some time now, with not a single car back with bearing issues. This gave me the piece of mind to go with something tried and true.
