• Method B: Use a feeler gauge to measure the
clearance (Figure 6-56, (3)) between the 
thrust bearing (Figure 6-56, (1)) and 
crankshaft (Figure 6-56, (2)). Record the 
measurement. See Thrust Bearing on 
page 6-9 for the service limit.

4. Remove the bearing cap. Do not remove the
bearing inserts at this time.
5. Wipe oil from the bearing insert and crankshaft
journal surfaces.
6. Place a piece of PLASTIGAGE
®
(Figure 6-57, (1)) along the full width of the 
bearing insert.
Figure 6-57
IMPORTANT
Do not rotate crankshaft when using 
PLASTIGAGE. A false reading may result.
7. Reinstall the bearing cap and tighten to
specification. See on page 6-14.
8. Remove the bearing cap.
Figure 6-58
9. Compare the width of the flattened
PLASTIGAGE (Figure 6-58, (1)) to the 
graduation marks on the package. The mark 
that most closely matches the width of the 
flattened PLASTIGAGE will indicate the bearing 
oil clearance. Record the measurement. See 
Crankshaft on page 6-8 for clearance 
specifications.
10. Repeat with the remaining main bearings.
Note: Be sure to note the markings on the main
bearing caps, or make marks so they can 
be reinstalled in the same order as they 
were removed. The “arrows” on the main 
bearing caps point to the flywheel end of 
the engine.
