Goose: I'll take a chance in adding that when I use Plastigauge on the mains, I will use a very small jack and a large wooden dowl or a 1X2 to push the crank up just enough to make sure it is against the top bearing. ( guess the weight of the crank) This helps put all the clearance into the reading you will get on measuring the bottom bearing. I also tend to "try" and look for the most wear area on the crank to measure. Might as well look for worst case clearance... I was told by several machine shop guys that worn mains have the most surface so renewing them might be enough.. I also seem to recall that if you have standard bearings, there are replacement bearings that are just .002 larger to save grinding a crank.. but all this info was learned decades ago so maybe there are no .002 larger mains sold any more..?
