Pinto Bearing clearances

Is .003"/.076mm acceptable on mains for Turbo competition style use?
 
Thanks
Rhys

    No one building Pintos anymore? 
     
    I'll report back my finding if things don't work out.

    A little late perhaps but got around to unpacking the computer.
     
    Not exactly as I remember, (I had standard clearances for pinto and cossie elsewhere) but this may be of some help.
     
    Here's what I found in my notes
