What is the Role of Rod Bearing in Measuring Crankshaft Bearing Clearances with Plastigage on 2007 Chrysler Sebring?

Before checking the engine crankshaft using Plastigage or a similar method, remove all the oil from the surface to be measured, as Plastigage dissolves in oil. Lay a strip of Plastigage over the outer edge of the journal and add one to any suspicious area as well. After tightening the bearing cap bolts according to instructions, remove the cap and use the scale on the package with your Flattened Plastigage to check the gap. Be sure to look for the difference in readings at each end and this will show you the tapering present which you should then record. Check that the clearances you find in the engine are within the engine's specifications. Most Plastigage scales come in inches and millimeters and are available in several clearance ranges, so use the one that matches the job you are checking. Ensure you put in the right bearing for the crankshaft so the spacing is as required.
