    Q:
    What precautions should be taken when working with Plastigage for the 1985 Chevrolet Caprice? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Three precautions should be taken: 1. Ensure all oil and grease are removed from the crankshaft and bearing surfaces during testing. 2. Avoid rotating the crankshaft while Plastigage is installed to prevent damage. 3. Carefully remove all traces of Plastigage after testing without harming the crankshaft or bearing surfaces, using a fingernail or a blunt wood stick instead of sharp tools or abrasive cleaners.

    Q:
    What is the procedure for checking main bearing clearances for the 1985 Chevrolet El Camino? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The procedure for checking main bearing clearances is as follows: 1. Install the main bearings and caps into the engine block after cleaning the crankshaft and bearing surfaces. 2. Place a piece of Plastigage along each main bearing journal. 3. Install and tighten the main bearing caps to the specified torque, ensuring the arrows on the caps face the front of the engine. 4. After tightening, remove each bearing cap and measure the width of the flattened Plastigage strip using the scale provided on the envelope to determine bearing clearance.

    Q:
    Should the piston/rod assemblies be cleaned and inspected at this stage for the 1983 Chevrolet El Camino? Posted by Customer

    Q:
    How can you verify the correct positioning of the piston/rod assembly for the 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Verify that the piston/rod assembly is correctly positioned by noting that most pistons will be marked with an 'F' or a drilled-out area indicating the piston should be installed with these marks toward the front of the engine, and the rod bearing tang slots should be towards the outside of the engine block once installed.

    Q:
    What does it indicate if the Plastigage is flattened more at the ends than in the middle for the 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass? Posted by Customer
    A:
    If the Plastigage is flattened more at the ends than in the middle, it indicates journal taper, which can be checked against specifications.

    Q:
    How should the work be organized when removing the ridge from the cylinders for the 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Work on one cylinder at a time by turning the engine so the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and place a rag on top of the piston to catch the cuttings.
