Engine Clearances

I am rebuilding an engine for my other “project” Boxster.
As JFP has alluded in other threads, bearing clearances are some kind of Manhattan project-level secret. (Really, all one can find are torque specs and one must pay for even those.)
I have Raby’s video and book, but in spite of the cost, he doesn’t reveal anything there.
I know all the arguments about the work he has put in, but don’t his competitors already have these specs? We are supposed to blithely and happily drop a set of bearings in the carrier followed by the crank and assume all is good?
Anyway, if anyone would be so generous as to provide those numbers, I would be eternally grateful.
I wouldn’t even undertake this but I knowingly bought it with a bad engine but got two more bad ones in succession!
And should you provide by DM, I promise not to break the covenant of the secret society.
