    Been looking all over for this stuff to check my main bearings but nobody has even heard of it, never mind stock it. Anyone point me in the right direction?

    Oops, dont think I read that correctly cos you get all of them in one pack. In the Haynes manual it says "Main bearing max running clearance = 0.17mm." Is that what I'm checking with this stuff?
