The size of the bearing is what effects the oil clearance correct so plastigauge is the proper way to check if the bearing is the right size. I am right about this arent I.
Yeah so if I put the bearing into the rod and connected the rod to the crankshaft with a piece of plastigauge, and it doesnt measure to the right clearance then I would know that the bearing is the right or wrong size
I am not going to use acl bearings because I am building for long term use. I want the bearings to fit as close to perfect as possible. I am just wondering if the process I was discribing a couple of posts ago is correct. mfgreen has me thinking that I am confused about something. Am I?

I was asking myself the same question as in the original post...don't know why Plastigage didn't come to mind... duh. I guess sometimes you just lose brainpower.
