    Crankshaft bearing clearance specs and a little advice needed.

    Hello,
    I've been working on my son's 2002 9-5 Linear 2.3 and I need a little help.

    After replacing a trashed turbo and dropping/cleaning the oil sump we got a low oil pressure light and quite a bit of knocking.
    So I dropped the sump again to look around and try to figure out what I messed up.
    I read somewhere that I should check the crankshaft main bearings so I pulled off the #4 rod and main caps. The bearings and journals look pretty good to me.
    Meanwhile I found out that I should have replaced the o-rings on the oil pickup tube and the feed tube. I have the new o-rings now and I'm fairly confident the old o-rings were the cause of the low oil pressure after we put everything back together.

    But since I had these 2 bearings apart I thought I might as well check the clearance.
    I torqued to 15 lbs + 70 degrees and got about 0.0015 on the main and 0.007 on the rod.
    I'm guessing 0.007 is too much. Can someone here tell me the clearance specs on those bearings?

    I think I bought the WIS on DVD but since the guy on eBay hasn't even acknowledged the sale yet I'm not sure what I'll be getting.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Well, I heard back from the guy I bought the WIS DVD from. He says it will be here in a week.

    Does anyone here know the clearance specs? If not I guess I'll button it up and see how the oil pressure holds with the new o-rings.

    Here are the crankshaft specs for the 4-cylinder petrol engine from the WIS. I hope it has the information you're looking for because I am not very familiar with it.
