I like to use a narrow strip of .0015" brass shim stock between the crankshaft and the rod or main cap instead of plastigauge, and adjust the shim pack until the crank can be turned a little with a moderate amount of effort.
Dayum!
Why did I never think of that - once you know it, it seems so obvious.
Not a huge fan of plastigauge ether, but that's all I ever used. That brass shim method seems so much better.
Thanks for the hint Jerry.
