I'd like to do a dry run on my lower end assembly to check main bearing clearances with Plastigauge. I assume I can just bolt it up and torque it down using only the main bearing saddle bolts, with no sealant, to get a reading. It's a 3.0 six. Is this correct?
Thanks, Randy |

No! You find the issues that are creating the tightness or looseness and you measure and adjust clearances until the issue is ironed out- at this point seek the aid of a professional. Or slap it together and hope for the best! |
