    crankshaft bearings tolerances

    Can somebody tell me please....iff the 0.05mm measured with plastigauge at the bearings is ok! From new...the book says a little lower.
    What do you think? I should scrap the crank?
    Thank You!
    All the best!

    Manaul says 0.058mm is top limit when new, wear limit is 0.16mm. I would say it's OK, but to be on the safe side you could get it re-ground and use oversize bearings.

            Sorry for messing up the thread, but is it the same for rod bearings as well?

                Which plastigage type is best for crankshaft and rods ? 0,025 - 0,175mm ?

                Edit: This is the smallest of Plastigauge
