Clevite Yellow Plastigage - 12 Pack

Look inside most winning Indy cars and NASCAR vehicles and you'll find Clevite engine bearings. Since the development of the first precision insert-type bearing in 1929, Clevite bearings set the pace for engineering quality, and today they exceed industry standards for strength and durability. Most Clevite performance bearings use a special TriMetal design, first developed 50 years ago and perfected over time. A copper-lead alloy is added to a steel back, which is then electroplated with a white metal surface layer which produces an ideal degree of conformability, embedability, slipperiness, and fatigue resistance. Summit Racing also has other Clevite engine components like pistons, rings, and cam lifters, all manufactured to the same high.

Clevite 77 Plastigage was designed to be a final check of total vertical oil clearance during reassembly. It is not meant to be a replacement for properly measuring crankshaft journals, housing bores, or bearing dimensions before engine reassembly with accurate micrometers and gauges. Plastigage is available in four different sizes to check total vertical oil clearance on connecting rods and main bearings. Each package has a measuring scale printed in inches and millimeters. The strips are color-coded for easy size identification and are soluble in oil.

Features:

• Minimum Clearance (in): 0.009 in.
• Maximum Clearance (in): 0.020 in.
• Individual Piece Length (in): 11 in.
• Gauge measures metric ranges from .229-.508 mm.
