Im beginner the plastigauge depend on the engine size to choose the color for the plastigauge .i have a 2008 dodge charger 2.7 and need to change the conecting rod bearings i dont know what color to choose .and the torque is 20ft and 90 degree the clearence may increase the torque or low the torque
No problem. Silver ASE here. Wider means the space between the bearings is tighter, narrower means the space is looser. Looser bearing space will allow the oil to fling off too fast and the bearings won't ride on the oil but rub on dry spots. Too tight won't allow the oil to penetrate enough and that will also create dry spots. You want the plastigauge to be squished just right. This will provide oil flow at cold start and at running temperature to protect your bearings. Plastigauge is cool in a way that it will also provide you with the knowledge of bearing health, if they are worn too much in the middle or the outside and it will save you a whole lot of time. Ingenious invention.
Twenty thousands of and inch is read as 0.020 inches (or two-hundredths of an inch), whereas two thousands of an inch is read as 0.002 inches. if this engine had a clearance of 0.020 inches, it would have sounded like a diesel! Tenths = 0.1000 Hundredth = 0.0100 Thousands = 0.0010 Ten thousants = 0.0001
Absolutely correct. In addition, he states that he placed the Plastigauge diagonally to the journal. The correct term is perpendicular. Diagonal means you placed it at an angle, like a 45 degree angle. Perpendicular means you placed it at a 90 degree angle. Poor communication on this video.
@@eleuterionarciso4267 clearance affects the gap/space oil can flow in to lubricate/form a film layer protect contact between bearing & rod=scratch metal on metal LOL XD --newer cars use thinner oil 0w-20, because the space gap is nowadays made smaller... --older cars use thicker oil 5w-35, because the space gap was bigger back then...(& need thicker film protect towing truck harder service)
dear paul I like to inform you that this video has some light problems I cannot Abel to understand and see what happens with plastic gauge , hope you do needful.thank you
1:08 diagonal means : a straight line joining two opposite corners of a square, rectangle, or other straight-sided shape. And you use a torque wrench to break the bolts loose ? SMFH!!!
If that engine had .020 clearance on rods and mains it would knock like hell......maybe .002......hope people do not watch this and set clearances on their engines like you describe......BOOM BOOM.
Sorry about the error I am stating with the measurement. Should be 15 to 20 tenthousandth! I cant figure out how to make a comment on the video. Ill try to figure that out.
Youbsay no need for bearings personally I would spend the 100 bucks and then. Check my clearances. Have the block cleaned new rings exc spend the 3 or 400 bucks. And know your chance for failure in the future is very slim instead of gambling with old bearings these old jeep engines are hard to find
And for those of you that don't know how to use a plastigauge you put the piece in like he shows when you torque down the bearings the strip will flatten and your measure ment is based on how wide the smashed piece of Gauge is using the wrapper as a guide and as long as your spec is within the stated gauge spec use the depicted lines to measure and if your line is not to big or too small your in there.

Should explain more for beginnners like what it means if it’s wider or thin etc

Poor instructions for ppl who never used a plastigauge u didn't give any direction
First thing I was told in class. Never use a torque wrench to loosen a nut or bolt!
vpelayo89 yea, and certainly don’t throw it as soon as you’re done loosening a bolt
But why?
depend on skill and time ..haha
@@robertbrandywine because if you throw it many times it will lose its calibration

Tenths = 0.1000
Hundredth = 0.0100
Thousands = 0.0010
Ten thousants = 0.0001
The above is correct. Thanks for the correction.

yep its a jeep
No?? Lol!!!
.1000= hundered thousandths
.0100= ten thousandths
.0010=thousandths
.0001=tenths. As in tenth of a thousandths.
Not ten thousandths.
The green plastiguage range is .001 to .003
was going to say if its .020 that engine wont run long!! gotta be .002 thou!!!
You right Bruce
The clearence can afect the torque or what mean the clearence and can afect the torque?

Clearance for 1rz toyota crankshaft am I looking for
1rz-e (engine to be more specifiek)
Armand - I'm confused, why would it sound like a diesel?
.003 is about the most you should have
I could not understand the way you tried to show us
unbelieveable

I agree with you. The lighting sucks.
1:08 diagonal means : a straight line joining two opposite corners of a square, rectangle, or other straight-sided shape. And you use a torque wrench to break the bolts loose ? SMFH!!!
Exactly my thoughts....Great call there Zeke.
I've used that before. Sketchy to go with it.
this engine probably blew up lmao
Should I use the plastic gauge with old or new connecting rod bearing and crankshaft bearing?
it doesn't matter if old or new. Its just a way to measure the tolerance between two surfaces.
Thanks for the information it's really helpful.

ماهذهي الورقة
2 thou not 20
Not too smart to wear a white tshirt while doing any kind of mechanical work....
you need .0002 not .0020
.0002 is 2 ten thousandths of an inch ~~~~~
.002 is 2 thousandths of an inch
You are way off on your measure!!!
Guy just mixed up terminology of measurement
For .0018 he says “18 thousands”
That’s actually = 18 ten thousands
So crankshaft is OK
