I need to use plastigage on my crank to see what the clearance is.
What am I aiming for? How much is too much? Zach |

Or you can use the plastigauge and try to learn how the shade tree guys like me do it. I like to compare my mike readings to the plastigauge. The inside id of the mains are hard for me to do with a bore gauge. Plastigauge kinda rounds off the amounts but it really gets pretty close. To me it's actually easier to mike the clearances rather than torqueing it together with the plastigauge on all the mains and then taking it apart and not tearing the plastigauge up getting it back apart. The rods are easy.
