Clevite Plastigage Yellow Plastigage — Engine Assembly Gauge

Precision Engine Clearance Checks with Clevite Yellow Plastigage

Proper oil clearance is critical for the longevity and performance of your engine. Clevite Yellow Plastigage is the industry-standard tool for verifying the vertical oil clearance between your crankshaft journals and engine bearings. This 12-pack provides enough material for multiple engine builds or detailed checks during your assembly process, ensuring that your clearances are perfectly dialed in for your specific application.

Key Advantages for Engine Builders

• Easy Verification: Provides a visual check of bearing clearance before final assembly.
• Precision Calibration: Specifically formulated for accurate readings in the yellow range.
• Reliability: Trusted by professional engine builders for consistent results.
• Essential Tool: A must-have for verifying work done with micrometers.

While Plastigage is an invaluable tool for a final clearance check, it should be used in conjunction with high-quality micrometers and bore gauges to ensure total accuracy. By placing the Plastigage strip on the journal, torquing the bearing cap to spec, and then measuring the width of the flattened strip, you gain peace of mind that your engine is built to exact tolerances. This simple step can prevent catastrophic bearing failure and ensure your engine performs at its peak. Whether you are building a street-strip machine or a dedicated race engine, Clevite is the name you can trust for quality. Discover more professional engine building tools and components at GGCRACING.
