[Fot] checking bearing clearances

[Joe Boruch]

The machine shop I use checks the dimensions with micrometers, but since I
assemble the engine myself I usually double check things with plastigauge.  So
far I have not found any discrepancies.  Joe(B)

One builder I know installs the bearings in the rod ends or mains, torques

caps and uses an inside micrometer to check bearing clearances before
installing the rods or crank.
Another one swears that method is not sufficient and you have to use
plastigauge.
