Crank bearings good or bad

<< < (15/16) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
As far as I'm aware you don't grease or oil the bearing when using Plastigauge - at least I never have.
It might even give you a false clearance value.

Acro1985:
The instructions with the plastigauge said to use a little bit of grease to hold the plastigauge in place

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I had no instructions so I did it dry.

Acro1985:
Just checked one the big end bearings with the plastigauge and not sure it's squished right or is it just how it's separated when taking the end cap off

taysidedragon:
It does that sometimes.  The outer measurement is unaffected.
