Mini Cooper S R53 Crankshaft Oil Clearance & End Play Part 3

[@Yetterben]

Good job dude. Just did this with my build. All the RMW goodies. My current tvs setup was fine but given that this was a forever car I wanted to make sure my bottom end could handle the years of abuse. 330whp e85 tvs link etc. Good times. I reused the cradle bolts for spec purposes as well. I ran with the factory mains as like you found out King has not been able to have standard mains in sometime even before Covid.
