What is Plastigage and how does it work?

Plastigage is a thin and thread-like plastic strip that is placed between two engine component surfaces in order to measure clearance. When pressure is applied to the surfaces, the Plastigage is flattened and its width is measured to determine the clearance.

What are the measurements for the different colors of Plastigage?

The green Plastigage will measure clearances between .025mm and .75mm, the red Plastigage will measure clearances between .050mm and .15mm, and the blue Plastigage will measure clearances between .10mm and .23mm.

Why is it important to check bearing clearances before starting up an engine?

Checking your bearing clearances beforehand can prevent damage and ensure that the engine performs optimally.

Can the kit measure 0.02mm -0.04mm?

The smallest this kit will measure is .025 which will be the green plasti-gauge. Not sure if that is close enough for you.
