I went in to Oreilly's to get some white lithium grease and some Plastigauge. Found the grease on the shelf, then went to the counter to get the plastigauge. Fellow, about 30 asked; "What's a plasitc gauge?" I told him "You know, Plas-tee-gauge. For measuring bearing clearances." "Never heard of it. What's it for?" So I told him to ask the manager for it. He came back a minute later with two boxes of it. I explained how you set a piece on your journal then torque the cap down. Then take the cap back off and use the scale on the package to see how much clearance is in your bearings. His eyes glazed over as I was giving him my 15 second explanation.
