Sheesh back off....I Did TWICE I have "the right tools" I use plastigauge as secondary across the journal. I DID it the right way TWICE, Did it once and took it apart for another reason. Did it AGAIN , and then put it "together" in mock up to check cam and ptv clearances, and since I was there I used plastigauge.....
Didnt hurt to "verify" and it did, spot on.

The proper way is to determine bearing clearance would be to measure the OD of the journal diameter of the shaft and subtract from that the ID of the installed bearing insert, the difference being the clearance. Spend the money on the right tools and it will save you a lot of money in the long run.
