In the first page I have the information and results as well as targets. I don't recall them offhand.

Actually I did it a second time, on a forum member's car.

In the case of BE bearings which are all I use, each one has been measured so I don't feel the need to measure again myself with a significantly less accurate process (plastigage) vs what BE did at the origin
Weren't the BE shells co-developed with some people on this forum to specifically address the clearance issue?

Not a no brainer yet. Time will tell but the proof is in the data we collect on what the 2nd set of bearings look like after 50k miles.

If for no other reason, the BE bearings are the way to go since you can use oil analysis as a tool to monitor wear.
