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 |

With regard to the plastiguage issue, some of the best 911 engine builders prefer to rely on measurements instead of plastigauge. Apparently it is almost unheard of to find a quality bearing out of spec for a 911, and there was some concern about torquing the bearings then pulling it all apart again. I like Jake's idea of measuring the rotating resistance, although I don't know if a 911 would be the same as a type 4.
