Plastigage - Green .001in- .003in

The Plastigage - Green .001in- .003in is an essential bearing clearance measurement tool that mechanics and engine builders use for precision diagnostics. This product is ideal for those performing engine rebuilds, checking crankshaft clearances, or troubleshooting bearing wear in high-mileage engines. It provides the accuracy needed to avoid costly mistakes during engine assembly.

This green-colored Plastigage strip measures clearance in the .001 to .003 inch range, making it suitable for main bearings, connecting rod bearings, and cam bearings on various street and performance engines. The material deforms under bearing load during assembly and compresses between bearing surfaces, revealing the actual clearance gap when measured with a ruler. The .001-.003 inch range covers standard production tolerances for most automotive applications.

Engine builders and mechanics benefit from this tool when assembling stroker kits, upgrading to performance crankshafts, or refreshing engines with new bearing sets. Its design allows for multiple measurements from a single 12.55-inch strip, making it a practical choice for automotive applications. This tool is compatible with most automotive engines, including four-cylinder, V6, and V8 configurations.
