Do you need to fully torque down when measuring bearing wear with Plastigauge?

DayvW:
 I believe you Oddjob - honest  ;) - perhaps the mileage is accurately low (around 23K it says on the mileometer) .. or the oil kind to that paint!

And - doh - yes ... I meant conrods A2s not A1s (typing - hopeless!).

Many thanks once again - much learned from you once again - this is - and will be for ages I expect - a terrific learning experience.

Now all I need to do is get her back together and running again .. how hard can it be ... :-\ 

DayvW:
I will indeed take care when spannering (socketing!) those bolts - thanks for the head-up though.  All the main bearing shells are labelled top/bottom and 1-5 (bought myself 100s of little luggage labels for just this kind of job!)  -and yep on the conrods i did notice the manual was very clear at pojnting out the need to get the the right way round.  I shall progress - not so much slowly (though slowly it will be) but carefully (as I like to see it :)).  Who is it says 'measure twice, cut once' (carpenters, fabricators in general)?  Can apply that philosophy to sooo many things!
