RE: My z6 Turbo Build
little update today
last night i got the crank out, all thats left is the pistons, but to get those out i have to remove the carbon ridge on the top of the sleeves.
i also got a set of telescoping gauges, and a micrometer so i can measure the bore and bearings

Register and download the Helms manual for your car/engine. It should tell you most of what you need to know.

For the crank journals, you measure the width of the journal on the crank and then each journal with the girdle bolted on. Subtract the two and that's your clearance. Remember, boosted engines like a bit of a loose fit.
Rod bearings, same thing, measure the rod journal on the crank and on the rod. Then, PLASTIGAUGE them for a more precise clearance.
Here's a really good writeup about how to build an engine.
