Old is correct, mic is the best option. However, if you don't have one available, you could slip in a new bearing and use the plastigage in at least 3 different spots in the rotation. Say you torque it down @ TDC, remove cap, measure 'gage. Then spin crank to 4 o'clock position. Insert new plastigage strip in the same place on the bearing. This will give clearances in relation to a single spot on the bearing in relation to varying spots on the crank, as you move the crank through its rotation. A third check at the 8 o'clock position, and you have 3 values, based on one given (new bearing) in relation to one variable (crank journal). If the 3 values match, the journal is good. Or maybe I've just been the victim of barnyard creativity. Dunno for sure, but it worked for me.
