Using Plastic Gauge

Posted by Brian on December 31, 2002 at 11:56:31 from (24.114.185.3):

Well I finally got the service manual in the mail, now I'm warming up to reasemble. I have purchased all new bearings, had the crank ground, and had new bushings installed in the piston rods by a engine rebuilder.
Today I went to the Parts Supply Store to check out Plastic Gauge. Now I have a couple of questions on using it.

First.
Are you supposed to/ can you use each piece more than once ?

Second
My understanding is that you wrap the stuff around the bearing surface and install the bearing to the proper torque spec, then disasemble and check against the package for clearence. Is it as simple as this ? Are you suppose to use it on both sides of the groves in the bearings ? Any tips ?

Finally,
The place wants to charge 3.50 CDN ( about 2.25 US) for each piece, is that about right ?

Thanks all
Brian.
