So IJ, added heat doesn't make parts expand?

Yes and clearances are widened to also allow increase in oil volume around parts for lubrication and cooling, no?
Thermal expasion if we were talking Pistons, Rings Valves Yes but we're talking about the Need for added bearing clearences for high output engine, and this has NOTHING at all to do with Thermal expansion as if it's getting hot oil temp to the point the crank is growing you have a failure about to happen.

Oil clearence is added in this case as I-6 engines are long wet noodles no matter how strong you think they are, run tight clearences and you'll see funky bearing wear patterns on the Mains as the block moves around so much you shear of 1.5 thou Oil wedge and the crank touches the bearings while turning, add clearence/pressure and a thicker Oil and this stops happening..

See above, I shrink fit parts often but that's NOT what the discussion was about.

Turbo sorry i havent posted on here yet. Congrats on all of the work! It's great that there are so many people in the AZ supra community. Looking at the parts you just posted that looks like the tanabe touring medallion exhaust i see. If so they are great.

So lets talk fuel Pumps/Injectors and Fuel lines for my E85 setup because that's the next step for me.

I want to build my fuel system to handle 1000WHP even if i never get there.



So i'm thinking along these lines thus far

ID or precision injectors (will be placing a order for a rail from Andy soon.)

2 Bosch 044 pumps or E85 Walbro 400's

and Braided E85 fuel lines or steel lines

Deciding on parts is the easy part

Setting up a good fuel system i know nothing about YET.

I'm not sure if i should have the tank sumped or which way to route the pumps/filters and lines. I've seen some pretty interesting local setups but don't know where to begin.
