Looking throught the Engine assembly pages of the SP No. 64 and they mention loads of clearances for everything.

But they note it in ranges.

I know that the larger "racing" clearances offer lower friction, but is there a guideline to go by with all of that lot.

Do you aim for the middle, one end or beyond?

as far as i know the larger clearances are there to compensate the higher thermal expansion expected in racing engines.
so the "hot-running-clearences" are about the same, no matter if it's an stock or racing engine
