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

      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.
