Years ago when I fitted my 1.1/2 Phoenix into a magy crankcase, the con rods touched the side where the magy indentation was.
I faxed them and they thought 40 thou would be enough. This I removed off the inside of the case at the offending point.
The motor is in pieces for another reason and there is no evidence of any touching. I have done about 12,000 miles.
I do drive the car "enthusiastically". Some friends use the word "flog".
When checking conrod crankcase clearance , I used corrogated cardboard, oiled, instead of the nice new bearings on the crank in the big end.
Cheers, Peter
