The best way is with a bore gauge and micrometer. you can get plastigauge at an auto parts tell them you want 1 1/2 to 3 (.0015 - .003)
Make sure the crank and bearing are free from oil and lay a strip across the bearing surface of the crankshaft and install the bearing cap and torque to specifications. Remove the cap and measure the strip with the scale that is printed on the side of the plastigauge sleeve. Myself I never use plastigauge because it can lie. HTH
