FWIW, the clearances on my SCAT Stroker Crank are greater than that (.003 and .0028, respectively). With the Melling M57 HV Oil Pump, remote Moroso filter and oil cooler open all the time, my pressure (with the oil as hot as it ever gets in the low 90s on the Smiths gauge) at idle is around 20 or even a couple pounds below. It comes immediatley up when the throttle is applied and is in the high 50's at anything above 3000 or so. Cruising at 2000 or less it might be in the high 40's. BTW, it's a a solid lifter cam and all of these numbers are just fine.
