The .001in-.003in Plastigage Green from Sealed Power is an essential precision measuring tool for serious mechanics and engine builders, designed to verify bearing clearance accurately. It is ideal for tasks such as complete engine rebuilds, servicing connecting rod journals, and measuring main bearing gaps. This plastigage is particularly useful for both professional shops and dedicated enthusiasts.
Plastigage Green operates by crushing between two surfaces, typically a journal and its bearing shell, to leave a measurable impression that indicates exact clearance dimensions. After assembly without oil, the component is removed, and the crushed plastigage width is measured against the included scale, providing a precise reading in thousandths of an inch. This range of 0.001–0.003 inches is critical for final assembly checks, especially in performance engines or freshly machined blocks.
Engine builders and transmission specialists rely on Sealed Power plastigage to confirm bearing clearances before final torque-down, significantly reducing the risk of bearing failure, scoring, or premature wear. The consistent material composition and precision marking ensure reliable, repeatable measurements across multiple checks, making it a trusted choice for those who prioritize accuracy in their work.
