HELP: reinstalling crank and rods
 
spun my crank bearings in my 96 TA and I took the crank to a machine shop and they cleaned it up...they are also selling me the correct size bearings to match the new grind...Now I was reading hanyes and it says to use a PLASTICGAGE to measure the oil gaps. How do I use this and what should it be at? for both the crank and rods. I need to know ASAP as I am installing it tom. PIXS would help ATON:bow:

thanks

Plastigage is the poor man's micrometer.

I did a simple search with "Google".
