Default N62 Crankcase Clearance Photos

Hi. Anybody out there have photos of the N62 crankcase with crank and rods installed? Looking to learn how much clearance there is between the big rod end and the crankcase at it's closest point of travel. As many already know, the rods installed in these cars have the caps rotated 30 degrees to "allow sufficient articulation in a tight space" and that makes finding a replacement much more difficult. Am curious if it is possible to install rods with standard/centered end caps but wasn't sure how much clearance there was.

Here is a photo of the 30 degree offset cap in case anyone hasn't seen one before:
