Subject:      bearing crush?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I'm mic'ing up the clearances between my crank and
bearings, noting the clearances that the haynes manual
calls out (between 0.001" and 0.002", if memory
serves).  I can most certainly measure these bearings
outside of the case, but once the the engine is bolted
together, do the bearings crush at all?  Does the
in-hand nominal measurement equal the final
bolted-tegether diameter measurement?


And what is a good way to measure the split bearing?
A straight edge across the flats when installed and
then depth/radius?


Thanks,
-Damon
