Question

Technician A says that torque-to-yield head bolts are special bolts that are reusable. Technician A says that main bearing clearance can be calculated by knowing the inner diameter of the main bearing and the outer diameter of the main journal. Technician B says that rod bearing and main bearing clearance can be measured with Plastigauge. Who is correct?

A) Technician A only
B) Technician B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Answer 1

Answer: D

Neither A nor B

Explanation:

In order to check the clearances for rod and main bearings, you need a set of micrometers and a dial-bore gauge

Measuring the inside diameter of a main or rod bearing will require a dial bore gauge. The best ones to use are accurate down to 0.0001-inch.

So, both technician A and B are incorrect
