If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed above or below that one), and check clearance again. | •
| If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over. |
|
| •
| If the marks are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent. |
