What is plastigauge?
Plastigauge is the name given to a precise method of measuring clearances between bearing surfaces using a plastic material. It consists of a material with precise known dimensions and deformation characteristics. The plastigauge material is sandwiched between the clean bearing surfaces. The dimensional clearance is then determined by comparing the amount that the gauge material has expanded or flattened. Dimensions of better than .oo1 inch can be accurately measured by this method. The material is usually color coded to indicate the range of measurement use for each gauge.
What tool is used to check the oil clearance of a plain bearing in a single piece crankshaft?
Plastigauge
Why is it necessary to wipe dry bearing and journal before using a plastigauge when measuring bearing clearance?
You wouldn't want oil to be taking up part of your clearance and give a false reading with the plastigage.
How do you change the oil pump in a 1987 f-150 with a 302?
First, what makes you think the oil pump is bad? If it's just a matter of low oil pressure I suggest that it probably isn't the oil pump, instead I'd look at the rod and/or main bearings. Either case, it will be easy to check when you replace the oil pump. First you have to drop the engine pan. That may require lifting the engine a little off the motor mounts, or it may require removing cross bracing. Whichever is necessary, once the pan is removed you should be able to find the oil pickup. The pickup is connected to the oil pump and the oil pump is usually held in place with 2 bolts, but it may be more. When you drop the oil pump you will probably find a rod that drives the pump. The rod will most likely come out with the pump. Be careful to not turn the rod or the engine until the rod is completely out of the engine. Often that rod connects to the distributor and if you allow it to change position you will have to set-up the distributor again. Replace the pump by going in reverse. But I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that while you have the pan down, you should remove the cap from one or two of the rod bearings and one or two of the main bearings. It would be a good idea to get something called "plastigauge" (or something like that, depending on the brand) It's a little piece of plastic that you lay across a bearing between the babbit and the crankshaft. Tighten down the bearing cap with the plastigauge in place then remove the bearing cap and measure the width of the plastigauge. There will be a chart included with the package to tell you if the bearing is worn too much. I suspect that if you have low oil pressure it is because the babbit is worn from the bearings, allowing oil to seep out around the surfaces. Be sure to wipe down the bearing surfaces before you use the plastigauge so that the oil doesn't give you a false reading. Also, if you pull a bearing cap and find that you have a lot of copper showing on the bearing surface, it's done. Babbit is grey but is backed with copper. once you've worn through the babbit, just rebuild the engine.
When to use me and you or you and i?
If you would use 'I' in the singular, then use 'you and I'. If you would use 'me', then use 'you and me'.
