Remove excess oil and release the big-end shells by unscrewing the set-screws. Apply a smear of grease to the journal and small quantity of silicone release agent to the shell. Trim a length of PLASTIGAGE to fit across the journal using the grease to hold it in place. Replace the shell and tighten the set-screws to the recommended torque setting, without rotating the journal. Now remove the shell to reveal the PLASTIGAGE which will have been spread across the bearing surface as a stripe or band. Match the width of the stripe against the calibrated gauge on the package, and read the clearance. The PLASTIGAGE stripe ideally should be removed with a clean oily cloth or degreasing solvent. However, any remaining PLASTIGAGE residue left behind will simply dissolve in motor oil and will not harm the engine in any way.
