Message	Just wanted to get a second opinion on my main clearances Using the factory bearing grades (3,1,3,3) I get the following: F->R ~0.0018" ~0.0025" ~0.0025" ~0.0018" FSM says limits are 0.0011" to 0.0022", with an absolute limit 0.0035" Checked with plastigauge torqued in 20 ft-lb steps to 70 ft-lbs. On reassembly I put the center two at 75 ft-lbs with the front and rears at 70 but I'm not sure if I should leave it like that.
