After getting the measurement on plastiguage, would i use that figure to set on torque wrench?

[@GarageGurusEU]

Hello @erottaffy2995. With plastigage you will get the clearance which should be in range for engine manual or our Glyco catalogue: www.garagegurus.tech/en-eu/knowledge-center/technical-catalogues.html
After measurements, you should use new bolts in case of piston rod and tighten them according to the engine specifications.
Have a nice day!
