Thanks for all of the great responses. When I started this I was mainly thinking about lubricants however I soon found the most important part was the use of Plastigage to check rods and mains. Here is an article I found that is a good discussion about bearings and clearances from Mopar Muscle Magazine. http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/techarticles/engine/mopp_0806_mopar_clevite_engine_bearing_guide/viewall.html Thanks Again Dennis C.
