Brian, if you look at the packaging of plastigage, you will see it is printed in separate sections. You tear off a section about an inch long. Wipe your crank journal dry, lay the plastigage parallel to the crank journal. Put the bearing cap on and torque to specs.. Next, take the cap off, lay the printed section against the flattened plastigage to measure clearance. I hope this is understandable. Its easier to do than to explain. If you need more info, one of the others will help out. I think I have some pictures when I did my crank. If I do, I will post them tomorrow.
