Ok I know plasti-gauge is like the back woods way of checking clearances but I don't have the tools to do it any other way.
My concern is my Main bearings all match but one.
All are just a touch below .002 mark.
The one with the thrust bearing is dead nuts with .002 mark.
You can see in the pictures I've posted.

I've not done the rods yet

What's the tolerance? I won't think a couple tenths would normally push it outside the range.

Main and rods are similar.
.0025-.003
