help with plastigauge readings....
ok so today i plastigauged my main journals, using a brand new oem green bearing.
heres what i got.
journal 1 - between .001 and .0015
journal 2 - .0015
journal 3 - .002
journal 4 - .0015
journal 5 - .0015
a green bearing is .0788 inches thick, journals 1,2,4,5 should be between .0009 and .00017 clearance and journal 3 should be between .0012 and .0019. are these the exact measurements i use or do i have to subtract from from the thickness of the green bearing?
this is prolly a stupid question but i want to make sure im doing it right. and seeing that the clearances should be between .0012 and .0019 and journal 1 is a tad over .001 and journal 3 is just outside the clearance limit (ut under the service limit) can i run all green bearings?
thanks!
