[6pack] Bearing clearances and Plastiguage

[Jerry C Shaw]

Have lower oil pressure for a rebuilt engine than I would like.

What main and connecting rod bearing clearances are normal?

Used micrometer on all reground crank surfaces giving  0.010 undersize with
mains @  2.303" and crankpins @ 1.865" . Stupidly didn't check clearances
during installation assuming shells were 0.010  undersized as stated on the
box.

Also, one of the car mags says Plastigage is not accurate. See
