5. Measure bearing oil clearance prior to removing
the crankshaft to determine extent of wear.
Record the measurements.

along the full width of
each bearing insert.
Figure 6-60
NOTICE
Do not rotate the crankshaft when using
PLASTIGAGE. A false reading may result.
3- Reinstall bearing caps and tighten to
specification.
4- Remove bearing caps.
5- Compare the width of the flattened

that most closely matches the width of the
flattened PLASTIGAGE will indicate the
bearing oil clearance.
