^never knew something like that even existed! Sounds old school... 60ft is a lot of cloth tape, but for $20 you don't have to worry about wasting it.

I'm not looking to take that much off of the journals, I'm just trying to get them to a polished finish.

I will measure the clearance just to be sure, but if it's 6 thousandths or less I'm calling it good enough.

Plastigauge?? or Telescoping Gauge & Micrometer ??

Plastigauge, because a bore gauge and micrometer are much more expensive. I'll measure in multiple places on the journals, but it'll have to do.
