I measured my main bearings with my old used main studs. If I was to use new studs for the installation. Would it throw my measurements off?

 

no it shouldnt affect it just as long as you torqued them to spec. If your not sure you can measure again

I was just wondering, since the bolt does stretch a certain length. But I'm not sure, anyone else?

 

Bolt stretch doesn't really affect measuring with plasticguage, it just changes the strenght,lenght and shape of the bolt. As long as you torque it to spec it should give you a correct reading.

 

Ok cool, thanks guys.
