Plastgage is all I have for this measurement so the actual clearance is closer to. 0017, not quite wide enough for .0015 but too wide for .002. The book says that this is within spec but on the tight side. What are your thoughts. I have stopped here for now.

The general standard for bearing clearance is .001" for every inch of journal diameter, so if you have a 2" rod journal you should have .002" of clearance minimum.
