Chris,
I have the machinist that's doing the work check for round and determine how
to size the journals.
I would just like to have a method that I can use to back check the machinst
and/or check clearances
while the motor is in the car.

I never used plastic gage for the bearing clearance.
To measure this I always take dial gauges which in my opinion is more
precise as you can also estimate the out of roundness of the parts.
Cheers

FoT
With the rods I have, in order to seperate the caps I have to back out the
bolts
a few turns and tap the bolts with a soft mallet to seperate them.
I use plastigauge to check my main clearances but it seems that tapping
on the rod bolts may tend to affect a plastigauge measurements on the rod
journals. I'd appreciate any feedback on checking rod clearances.
Thanks as always,
jim g
