Method B (Using Plastigage)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove engine oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and the surfaces of each bearing completely.

Cut a Plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.

Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod cap, and tighten the connecting rod nuts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate the crankshaft.

Remove the connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the scale on the Plastigage bag, measure the Plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit is same as that described in "Method A (Using Bore Gauge and Micrometer)".
