Stock Engine Swap-in. Having Issues

Sorry, I should have said nominal diameter... That where a dial caliper and T gauge come into play. Just another way to verify plastigauge.

That's some BS. What if the dyno is feeling particularly generous that day and throws all the cars that run at the limit over? They just DQ the whole lot and say tough luck???

How else would you do it?

I can check my book for Nominal thickness. Prob not gonna bother using a T gauge on the bearings. If the gap is too big, it doesn't change anything to measure it another way. If anything, if I did something wrong, the gap would most like read too small, right?

Well, I say use the T gauge for the mere fact that the bearings may be over sized, creating a stacked tolerance and throwing your measurements off.

Remember: just because it's new doesn't make it good.

I posted a wtb add in the For Sale section for a B6 exhaust manifold, if anyone in this section has any info

Is this the manifold I'm looking for?
