    never us plastic gauge. it can damage the bearing and is not very accurate. do it the correct way and have the machine shop measure the bearing clearance with the proper tools. aka bore gauge for the bearings and a caliper for the crank bearing side.

    nope high performance bearings can be easily damaged by that plastic gauge. its ok for cam journals. but it can damage the first few layers of the bearing since they are soft and sometimes have lead as a layer. and its not accurate. you would have to measure all the ways around and even then its not accurate. just use a bore gauge the correct way.
