You have to be kidding...are you really using Plastigage on a high dollar engine?
The proper way is to determine bearing clearance would be to measure the OD of the journal diameter of the shaft and subtract from that the ID of the installed bearing insert, the difference being the clearance. Spend the money on the right tools and it will save you a lot of money in the long run.
