Mahle Plastigage Clearance Measuring Tool

When assembling an engine, measuring oil clearance between bearings and journals is critical to avoiding premature wear. The Mahle Plastigage Clearance Measuring Tool is a simple yet effective tool for checking tight tolerances during engine assembly or inspection. This product leaves behind a crushed plastic residue that corresponds to a clearance width based on a calibrated scale. Ideal for mechanics working on crankshafts, camshafts, and connecting rods, the Mahle MPB1 removes issues from tight-space measurement.
