Is absolutely purposeless for what he is doing as he wont be able to correct the issue without removing the crank, machining the crank, getting larger bearings and then plastigauge to check if clearances are ok. This is main reason why shops aren't doing it either. Isn't because they are careless.

Lol ! And try put plasti gauge on oil covered jurnals ! Ur gonna get nice readings. Covered in oil its gonna be tough to apply. Cleaning that area its hard oil is everywhere. So ya. I think the OP is making the right choice. Not to try and gauge.
