I have always preached that side clearance has nothing to do with oil flow it bearing clearance the regulates the oil the bleeds out between the rods.

I have worked on piston guided rod engines before, Mercedes was the first to introduce the piston guided rod engine a long time ago.

It's like Lingenfelter published if you leave the plug out that is under the rear main cap you will loose oil pressure from there it was published in a bunch of books only to find out its a myth, LOL All that happens is the oil bypasses the oil filter.
