my bearings shells

What is the card calibrated in?

[taysidedragon]

It looks like thousands of an inch Bryan.

[roverboy]

hi the gauge is in  thousands of a inch

[Bryanj]

If the gauge is in thousandths you need different plastigauge as the smallest reading is 7 thou and that is waaaay too big for a Honda

[Sesman]

It tells me your big ends are fooked!

[Bryanj]

Not necessarily, the clearance is less than 7 thou but until the correct stuff is used we dont know the clearance.

You need to used Red plastigauge not green

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

The wider the squash the tighter the bearing clearance.

[K2-K6]

Looks approx 3 1/5 thou (0.088 mm) from that assessment.

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Iirc the Plastgauge I used was in a green package.
It was marked as 0.001-0.003".
0.025 - 0.076 mm.

Not sure if that is correct for your engine. Someone here will correct me if I'm mistaken.
