It is a brave man that doubts Smokey.  He warns to NEVER go closer than 3/8".

  Dear Guys,



             My answer is 1/4" to 3/8".


             Double checked my answer.  References:  Engine Blueprinting by Rick Vogelin 1997

            Smokey, God bless him, might be wrong on this one.



                        FWIW,  Chuck Engles

  Smokey Yunick advises 3/8" to 1/2" clearance.
