Rebuilding 1.8T
I'm currently rebuilding my 1.8T, I have new main cap and connecting rod bearings, rings, and gaskets. I've looked everywhere for main cap bearing clearence's when plastigaging. I installed one and it was in between .001 and the next size up, is that good? I torque'd it to 43 ft/lb's and did an extra 90 degree turn, and then reinstalled with assembly lube on the inside of the bearings. This is correct, right?

Bentley calls for clearance between .01mm and .05mm, wear limit is .12mm.
Roughly .00039", .0019", and .0047", respectively.
Roughly .00039", .0019", and .0047", respectively.
