How does PLASTI-GAUGE work? You put a piece on the old bearing and
clamp (install) the bearing. This gives a measure of the wear I presume.
Assuming the bearing (only) wears, and the crankshaft (or whatever)
doesn't, what does PLASTI-GAUGE tell you that couldn't be determined
by mike-ing the crankshaft? That is: measure the crankshaft and calculate
the difference from "spec" measure, and buy bearings accordingly.
Is PLASTI-GAUGE useful to verify that new bearings & machine work have
been done properly?
DWhat should I expect the PLASTI-GAUGE to indicate for normal clearances
at main bearings & rod bearings? The info is needed for a 1974 Spitfire
with 1500 engine.
Happy Healeying....
